Displaying HTML with Blade shows the HTML code

I have a string returned to one of my views, like this:

$text = '<p><strong>Lorem</strong> ipsum dolor <img src="images/test.jpg"></p>'

I'm trying to display it with Blade:

{{$text}}

However, the output is a raw string instead of rendered HTML. How do I display HTML with Blade in Laravel?

PS. PHP echo() displays the HTML correctly.

Solution 1:

You need to use

{!! $text !!}

The string will auto escape when using {{ $text }}.

For laravel 5

{!!html_entity_decode($text)!!}

Figured out through this link, see RachidLaasri answer
