Laravel @yield showing content with HTML tags

Question

I'm new to Laravel and I faced this issue, when I'm using @yield('content') to view some HTML, the out put will be the exact contact with decoding it into HTML.

Here is my code :

@yield('content',"<p>This is a great starting point for new custom pages</p>")

And the out put is : <p>This is a great starting point for new custom pages</p>

And here is a screenshot :

Can someone help me know what's going on please?

Answer 1

In Laravel, the @yield directive is looking to pull the @section that you note up from whichever file is producing the html. When you pull in the @section, it is formatted as proper html on the page.

So, if you had a section like this:

@section('paragraph')
    <p>here is some text</p>
@stop

And pulled this in a @yield statement:

@yield('paragraph')

This would simply output the html:

here is some text

What you have done with this:

@yield('content',"<p>This is a great starting point for new custom pages</p>")

is to supply default text to display on the screen if the 'content' section is unavailable. This text is escaped, thus you are seeing the html tags.
