The HTML formatting feature is enabled via the GridOptionsView.AllowHtmlDrawHeaders property.
string imageName = "customer";
imageCollection1.AddImage(Image.FromFile("c:\\customer-16x16.png"), imageName);
gridView1.OptionsView.AllowHtmlDrawHeaders = true;
gridView1.HtmlImages = imageCollection1;
columnCustomer.Caption = columnCustomer.GetCaption() + "<image=" + imageName + ">";
Example
The following example shows how to format the GridBand.Caption using HTML tags. HTML formatting is enabled via the GridOptionsView.AllowHtmlDrawHeaders property. The image below shows the result:
gridBand1.Caption = "Production<br/><b>costs</b>";

bandedGridView1.Appearance.HeaderPanel.Options.UseTextOptions = true;
bandedGridView1.Appearance.HeaderPanel.TextOptions.WordWrap = DevExpress.Utils.WordWrap.Wrap;
