Getting HTML out of DB

[Bravat]

I have stored a text into DB with HTML tag. Is it possible to read it from DB and display in browser as tagged? Exemple of text:

Do you know SQL? Do you know how to run a query to grab the contents of a table cell in a database?

 

I'm pretty sure that if you grab that code and display it on a html page, then it's not going to be written as HTML code, it's going to be written as normal text. That means, the web page will actually show HTML code..

 

Sounds very confusing, but for the browser to interpret that as HTML code, and therefore add styling for the paragraph element, then you need to store <p> in the database, and not <p>

This is interesting, I always thought the browser would render the page to make the table above but I cut and pasted the html in a file and looked at it in my browser and nothing happened (it looked the same).

 

Isn't this a bit like safe html, does the server format the code before sending it to the browser ?

 

I tried a space,   in the same page and it worked fine.
