Mixing simple HTML with JSF

Question

Is there any way to mix some simple HTML in the middle of my JSF code? For example, in creating a data table, I want one of the columns to contain two values with a <br> between them. I tried this:
<h:data_table value="#{BeanColl}" var="_loopvar_TestBean" >
<h:column>
  <f:subview id="abc">
      <h:output_text  value="#{_loopvar_TestBean.name}" /> <BR />
      <h:output_text  value="#{_loopvar_TestBean.city}" />
  </f:subview>
</h:column>
</h:data_table>I also tried f:verbatim, which also was no good. I tried replacing the <br> with some text, just to see what was happening with it, and it was putting the text up above the table.
(My real problem is more complicated than just a <br>, so I am really looking for a more general answer. Eventually I will want to nest data_table tags.)
I'd be perfectly happy with a repeat tag of some sort, that just repeats the section of the page that it surrounds (which might contain text, HTML tags, and JSF tags) and doesn't try to help in building a table of any sort. In fact, this would make me a lot happier. But I don't find such a beast anywhere in the copious documentation.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Thanks all for advice so far. I have tried all the suggestions in here, and I still can't seem to get what I want. What I am really looking for is a simple repeat tag, without it giving me all the "help."
I tried Sergey's example, and it does, in fact, work fine in the header. However, to get the same behavior in the column itself does not seem to work. This code:
<h:data_table value="#{BeanColl}" var="_loopvar_TestBean" >
<h:column>
   <!-- Header works great. -->
   <f:facet name="header">
      <f:subview id="abc">
          <h:output_text  value="HeaderText1" />
          <f:verbatim escape="false"><BR /></f:verbatim>
          <h:output_text  value="HeaderText2" />
     </f:subview>
   </f:facet>
   <!-- Same code in the column does not work -->
      <h:subview id="abd">
          <h:output_text  value="text1" />    <!-- question="This tag does NOTHING!!  Why?"  -->
          <f:verbatim escape="false"><BR /></f:verbatim>
          <h:output_text value="#{_loopvar_TestBean.id}" />
     </h:subview>
</h:column>Here is the amazing thing: In my column data, the only tag which produces anything is the last output_text. I had thought that the problem had to do with the verbatim, but, in fact, JSF doesn't seem to want to produce any output that doesn't come directly from the loop variable! The first output_text in the column data, which should produce "text1" in each cell in the column, does not seem to do anything at all.
I have also tried using panel_group rather than subview, with the same results.
Is there some tag other than data_table which will repeat over data? I've looked, but maybe I'm just blind. I want something that does a lot less for me, and gives me the power to get what I actually want.
Any and all help and advice, even if it doesn't pan out, is greatly appreciated. (Do I sound desparate enough, yet?) :-)
