To insert any custom code in any place, you may use f.form_buffers.last:

form do |f|
  f.form_buffers.last << "
Hello world!
".html_safe # The simple way

  ft = f.template # just a helper variable

  f.inputs "Foo" do
    f.input :title

    f.form_buffers.last << ft.content_tag(:li) do
      ft.content_tag(:p, "Hello again!") +
          ft.tag(:input, type: :hidden, name: "bar[]", value: "baz")
    end
    f.input :path
  end
end

Just be careful about the HTML structure. If you call this from f.inputs block, your code will be placed inside an

element. On the "form" level, you are inside a
element.
