html

By default the Perch template engine converts special characters to HTML entities. The html attribute tells the template engine whether to output the tag’s value as plain HTML.

The attribute is most commonly used with the textarea field type when a WYSIWYG editor is used:

<perch:content id="desc" type="textarea" label="Description" editor="redactor" html>

Passing HTML from outside the template

Render trusted HTML only

Avoid rendering HTML from user-provided content or third parties as this can lead to XSS attacks.

The html attribute is also useful when passing HTML from outside the template (see: Passing variables into templates):

perch_content_custom('My region', [
    'data' => [
        'title'         => '<h2 class="title">Some Heading</h2>',
        'categories'    => perch_categories([], true),
    ],
]);

<perch:content id="title" type="hidden" html>
<perch:content id="categories" type="hidden" html>
