Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to modify the output of the HTML sitemap links.
However, if you wanted to add text outside the URL list, then you can edit the page normally and add content. You can also achieve this easily if you’re using the shortcode option in the HTML sitemap:

Regarding the duplicate categories issue, we have seen this bug in the HTML sitemap feature, but our developers are already aware and fixing it to remove the duplicate entries from the categories.
Moreover, the fix should be available in the upcoming updates. We’ll update our users through our usual communication channel if the fix is already included. You can also keep an eye on our changelog here: https://rankmath.com/changelog
We would really appreciate your kind patience regarding this matter.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
