Hi
I have a wysiwyg html ditor in my app. How do I escape html written to
the
database and encoding when I display the content>

I’m not sure if I understand your question. However if you want to
display literally (not rendered) the actual html that was stored in
the database then use the ‘h’ helper method to sanitize/escape it like
This displays it literally without rendering the html (sanitized)
<%= h @myhtmlcontent %>
or this renders the html inline
<% @myhtmlcontent %>
Hope that helps,

I want to sore the html in the database and diaplay it inline. I am
using
the tinyce plugin to do the wysiwyg, store it in the database and then
displays as bold text instead of inline.
maybe I should use the ‘h’ helpet when i store?
Anyway - I will play around a bit.

Pieter,
OK. So if you want it to render inline you would do something like
<%= @mycontent %>
but, maybe the reason it isn’t working for you is because what is
ending up being saved in the database is already escaped like < is
saved as < > is >…
So you may need to unescape the html either before you save it or
before you output it. You can use the CGI class to do this
require ‘cgi’
unescaped = CGI::unescapeHTML( escapedHtml )
Hope that helps,
Jeff
