please follow the below steps to achieve the html email.

1.Create a list with multi line text column.

2.Click the edit Item option

3.Change the html source from the top ribbon with your custom HTML code.

4.For workflow email read the above list item and into a string and send it across.

you will get the email in html.

Hope this helps.
