php - html tags in report PDF from HTML in Laravel

Question

i have a laravel project where I need to print a pdf. I made the printing without problems, using a library DOMPDF, but inside the pdf i need to print a content of a Rich Text Area.

The UI:

The output is

Note
<p><b>Test</b></p><p><b><br></b></p><ul><li><b>Test 1</b></li><li><b>Test 2</b></li></ul><p><br></p>

The blade page have:

<div class="row">
        <div class="col-xs-12">
            <h4>Note</h4>
            {{$plan->note}}
        </div>
    </div>

How can i print the html content correctly?

Answer 1

Basically Laravel does html entity encoding when you print something using {{ $plan->note }}.

In order to not to encode HTML elements, you have to use

{!! $plan->note !!}

This is not only for PDF. It can be used for web page rendering as well.
