In my ‘view’ I have the following code: <= post.description> Both title and description have the following data in the database: <EM>Jaane Tu…</EM> got a superstar opening If I use sanitize_helper <= sanitize post.description> the lt or gt is converted to < or >, but nothing more. What I am looking for is not having the tags displayed, but I want “Jaane Tu..” displayed in italics. What am I doing wrong? Or is my expectation from the sanitize_helper not right? |

Unless I’m missing something here, you shouldn’t be using any kind of sanitize if you want the HTML tags to make it through unchanged. In fact, escaping HTML tags is done by the “h” helper method—unless you’re calling that, the text should be inserted in the same format it existed in the description attribute. |

hi Ernie Some html tags make it through. If I use “h” helper, all the tags like show the way they are rather than displaying the enclosed text in italics. Same result if I don’t use “h” as well. |

Using sanitized helper, tried removing tags by adding following line to environment.rb config.action_view.sanitized_bad_tags = “em”, “object”, “embed” The tags still show. Kindly note that this is how description is saved in the database (with <EM>Jaane Tu…</EM>) |

Odd. It should work fine without the “h,” nor any special sanitization. |
