Output raw HTML from Laravel

Question

I have a form containing a textarea that stores user input in a table.

Currently when I pull this data in my view, {{ $data->textarea }} it outputs <strong> as <strong>. I'd like to either use or build a very basic WYSIWYG editor, but I don't think it will work if I can't output the raw HTML.

Is there some sort of attribute I need to define in my view or controller?

Meta: Would it be wiser to create a system like the Stack Exchange or Reddit where **this is bold text**?

`{{ $data->textarea }}` escapes data try this `{{{ $data->textarea }}}` — Nitin Bhujbal, May 05 '15 at 15:33
@MarcellFülöp and Nitin Bhujbal using tripple braces actually escapes the data in [Laravel 4, by default it's not escaped](http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/templates). — Styphon, May 05 '15 at 15:45
Thanks all. @NitinBhujbal that worked perfectly. Laravel 5 docs for future reference http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/templates — O P, May 05 '15 at 15:47

I'm assumng you're using the latest version of Laravel 5 because it escapes everything by default. If so then you need to use one brace and two exclamation marks to tell Blade not to escape it. This should do what you need:

{!! $data->textarea !!}
