Issue
I wanted to insert html code to a jsp page so I used normal spring controller populated my model with html items, then once I start to render the data on the view ,it show the user a row html tags rather than an actual elements like:
<p> <strong> Description:</strong></p>
I wanted to show the user an actual strong text not the tag itself ,anyone knows how to achieve that? my view is like that:
<%@ page isELIgnored ="false" %>
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%@taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<html>
<body>
<c:out value="${Description}" escapeXml="false" />
</body>
</html>
any Idea how to solve it?
Edit : part of the code where I send the html :
model.addAttribute("Description", jobpost.getDescription()
.replace("<", "<")
.replace(">", ">")
.replace("&", "&")
.replace(""", "\"")
.replace("'", "\\"));
Edit 2 : it finally worked guys It was a problem with the above code I forgot to insert ; at the end of & lt;
Solution
You can try wrapping the field with <b> or <h2>tag
<%@ page isELIgnored ="false" %>
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%@taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<html>
<body>
<b><c:out value="${Description}" escapeXml="false" /></b> // like this
</body><
/html>
