Laravel-generated email not formatting HTML correctly - html

Question

I am struggling with email formatting issue, with Laravel.
I get the email content (HTML) from the database, which doesn't really matter, but then quotes get added around, the format is wrong and my email looks like this:
Here is my code, thanks a lot for your help!
I tried with
'content' => htmlspecialchars($content)
and
'content' => htmlentities($content)
but none work, and for the blade file:
<div>
{{!!$content!!}}
</div>
gives me an error. I also tried
<div>
{{{$content}}}
</div>
(also an error of unexpected character) and
<div>
{{$content}}
</div>
(here was the original one)
<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cookie;
class InsuranceEmail extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
protected $attacheddoc;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct($attacheddoc)
{
$this->attacheddoc=$attacheddoc;
}
/**
* Build the message.rubr
*
* #return $this
*/
public function build()
{
$name = Auth::user()->nom . " " . Auth::user()->prenom;
$sqlContent="SELECT texte from blabla";
$content = DB::connection('blabla')->select( DB::connection('blabla')->raw($sqlContent))[0]->texte;
$content = str_replace('#memberName#', $name, $content);
$content = str_replace('"', '', $content); //I tried this, without any hope ;)
return $this->from('contact#blabla.net')
->markdown('emails.blabla')->with([
'title' => "Email onject",
'memberName' => $name,
'content' => $content,
])
->attach($this->attacheddoc, array(
'as' => 'attacheddoc.pdf',
'mime' => 'application/pdf'));
}
}

Answer 1

I tried a few things to try and fix my email displaying incorrectly. In the end clearing my view cache solved my problem, which I hadn't seen anyone else suggest. This most likely wasn't your issue here but I will include it in my answer to hopefully help anyone else with my issue.
Publish the Laravel email views
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-mail
Make sure there are no indents in your html views
resources/views/vendor/mail/html
Make sure to escape any html inserted via variable
{!! $content !!}
Clear cached views
php artisan view:clear

Answer 2

As per Laravel Documentation:
By default, Blade {{ }} statements are automatically sent through
PHP's htmlspecialchars function to prevent XSS attacks. If you do not
want your data to be escaped, you may use the following syntax:
Hello, {!! $name !!}.
Reference:
Laravel -> Blade Templates -> Displaying Unescaped Data

Answer 3

In your emails.blabla view us elike this it will escape HTML element
{{{ $content }}}
or try
{!! $content !!}
