I think what you describe above is for the "#format html"
feature, which is useful if the entire page is HTML.

If you just want a snippet of HTML embedded in your page, you
can use the INCREDIBLY simple macro shown below.  Just cut
it out and put it in the file HTML.py your MoinMoin macro
directory.

----------------------------- snip --------------------------
"""
    HTML macro

    by Christian Bird <chris.bird at lineo.com>
"""
#DESCRIPTION: Outputs the html code contained within parens.

def execute(macro, args):
    return args or " "
------------------------------ snip ------------------------- 

Then you can do something like:

[[HTML(<font color="red">)]]this would be red[[HTML(</font>)]]
