Solution 1

You need to specify html key in the first parameter:

Mail::send( ['html' => 'emails.newinvoice'], ['text' => $emailtext], 
//           ^^^^

Also replace auto-escaped block {{ }} with unescaped {!! !!} in the template:

<p> {!! $text !!} </p>

Solution 2

You need to use:

{!! $text !!}

instead of

{{ $text }}

Blade automatically escapes any html when echoing unless you explicitly tell it not to.

Solution 3

Yeah the solution above work just fine..

use {!! $contents !!}

instead of this

{{ $contents }}

This {!! $contents !!} is for allowing html While this {{ $contents }} is just for plain text.

Solution 4

After checking various solutions, following codes worked for me -

 try {
      $template_data = ['otp' => $otp, 'name' => $name];
      //send verification code
      Mail::send(['html' => 'email.account_verification'], $template_data,
                function ($message) use ($email) {
                   $message->to($email)
                   ->from('[email protected]') //not sure why I have to add this
                   ->subject('Account verification');
      });

      return Response::json(['code' => 200, 'msg' => 'Sent successfully']);

      } catch (Exception $ex) {
            return Response::json(['code' => 200, 'msg' => 'Something went wrong, please try later.']);
      }

I'm currently trying to create a HTML email in Laravel 5 and I have some text (which contains <br/> elements) I want to insert in the email. I use the following piece of code to send the email:
```
Mail::send(array('html' => 'emails.newinvoice'), array('text' => $emailtext), function($message) use ($email, $subject, $contact_company)
{
    $message->to($email, $contact_company)->subject($subject);
});
```
So the $emailtext variable contains some text with HTML tags. In my emails.newinvoice layout view, I have the following:
```
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
    <head></head>
    <body>
        <p>{{{ $text }}}</p>
    </body>
</html>
```
When sending the email, the inserted text in my mail and the HTML elements in that text are displayed as normal characters which means that my email shows up like:
```
test<br/>test
```
Instead of
```
test
test
```
How can I make sure that the HTML tags in the inserted text get rendered as HTML and not as plain text?

  What happens when you use {!! $text !!}?

Unfortunately, my inserted HTML still gets rendered as plain text after this change.

Thanks Also replace auto-escaped block {{ }} with unescaped {!! !!} in the template: this helps me
