larvavel 5 language file with html <br>

Question

I have a button in my site where the text shall be on 2 lines. The text in the button is populated by translation feature trans() with the content provided by the language files.

Now I face the problem when I enter HTML, in this case <br>, in the language file, it will be escaped and not be parsed.

resources/lang/en/messages.php

return [
'iamaclown' = 'I am a<br>clown', 
//...
]; 

resources/views/foo.blade.php

<button>{{ trans( 'messages.iamaclown' ) }}</button>

This gives me the output

I am a<br> clown

But I want

I am a 
clown

Is there a way to accomplish that?

Answer 1

To display unescaped data, wrap the trans( 'messages.iamaclown' ) in

{!! trans( 'messages.iamaclown' ) !!}

By default, Blade {{ }} statements are automatically sent through PHP's htmlentities function to prevent XSS attacks.

If you do not want your data to be escaped, you may use the following syntax:

The name of the website is, {!! $websiteName!!}.

Note: Be very careful when echoing content that is supplied by users of your application. Always use the double curly brace syntax to escape any HTML entities in the content.
