Hi!
In a form to display information on specific items, I am using HTML-text.

When opening this screen, before det form is fully loaded, I see the hideous "standard HTML text" on the screen.

It does not last for too long, but enough for it to be annoying.

I have the following code for HtmlText:

If(
 CountRows(Filter('List',Location = myLocation && ItemNo = Value(DatacardItemNo.Default))) > 1,
"<b><p style ='text-align:left'>" & "ID:</b> " & ThisItem.ItemNo & " (duplicate)</p>",
"<b><p style ='text-align:left'>" & "ID:</b> " & ThisItem.ItemNo & "</p>"
)

Fill:

If(
 CountRows(Filter('List',Location = myLocation && ItemNo = Value(DatacardItemNo.Default))) > 1,Red,RGBA(255, 255, 255, 0)
)

I guess it is due to the Datacard loading a little slow, but is there any way to rewrite this to make it not display the HTML-placeholder default text?

You could hide the html text when the data is not loaded yet.
Try setting the visible property of the html text control to !IsBlank(DatacardItemNo.Default)

You can also use the Coalesce() function.
If( CountRows(Filter('List',Location = myLocation && ItemNo = Value(DatacardItemNo.Default))) > 1, Coalesce("" & "ID: " & ThisItem.ItemNo & " (duplicate)", " "), Coalesce("" & "ID: " & ThisItem.ItemNo & "", " ") )
