Next time choose a better subject then “help!”. It’s not describtive  
about your problem. Most people won’t read it.

//Controller  
…  
@message = “Hellow!”

…  
//view  
…  
\<%= “  
#{@message}” %\>

it forgives ,

the message is dinamic.  
the message comes of the data base with tags.

Try these two experiments in your rhtml:

\<%= ‘ **yo** ’ %\>

\<%=h ‘ **yo** ’ %\>

The first should be bold, and the second should show **etc in  
your browser.**

 

**The h escapes \< to \<. Without it, you should get raw HTML.**

 

**Now check your database - does it reeeally have \< \> in it? or \< \>?**
