How to display html lists in IOS UITextField? - html

I see an entry here:
How to add bullets
It shows how to add bullets into IOS UITextField.
What I need is something different. I want to save the HTML code in the database like:
<ul>
<li>item1</li>
<li>item2</li>
</ul>
And then show it in IOS application as seen in the browser.
What is the good way of it?

I dont know if there is any such HTML interpreter/parser that will directly convert this code to NSString.
What I would suggest is that : Save the text in database as plane string with bullets or any prefix as <bullet>item1.
And while showing to the UI, first read that string from the database and replace <bullet> with some text as • (dot buttlet, Unicode code point U+2022).
Or you need to use regex to convert your HTML tag and then replace <li> with •

Am I missing something? Why not just UIWebView instead of UITextField?

Convert JSON string to html text with bullet points in Angular

I am using Angular for a project and I want to display some data on a page that comes from a JSON file. My problem is that the message is big and I would like it to be displayed with bullets points
"messageToDisplay": "this is a long message with 1) first bullet point 2) second bullet point",
Now in my html I would like this to be rendered in that way
<div>
<p>This is a long message</p>
<ul>
<li> first bullet point </li>
<li> second bullet point </li>
</ul>
</div>
Is this even possible?
I am beginner in angular so I don't know everything
EDIT: More easily explained: can I add html tag inside a JSON string value?
Yes, you can place HTML into any JSON string value.
You can then display in angular using innerHtml binding.
<div [innerHtml]="response.message"></div>
The string gets sanitized for you by Angular so you don't have to worry about XSS.

Add html elements and json list inside angular typescript class

I have this code.
this._notificationService.showInfoMessage
(
'The list below cannot be reached'
+ `'<ul>
<li> ${this.tagList
.map(i => i.tag)
.join(',')} </li>
</ul>'`
);
It does not work
I want add html list inside component.ts file for this tag list and show list items one by one as a list with bullets.
I have tried many ways.
I made it using browser inspect view
I want to get as below one
please suggest best way for this
Why it doesn't work?
Just check what says the official Angular documentation.
Angular recognizes the value as unsafe and automatically sanitizes it,
which removes the script element but keeps safe content such as the
element.
https://angular.io/guide/security#sanitization-example
That is how it's working!
But still, you have many options to achieve your goal.
Since you have a list/array of tags you could just iterate over them in the template and use string interpolation.
<ul>
<li *ngFor="let tag of tags">{{tag}}</li>
</ul>
Text interpolation:

P.S Please, share with us what your service/component looks like.

linebreaks filter with mixed HTML \ plain text string

I have a string like this:
Plain text with newlines.
But it also has some html.
<ul>
<li>first</li>
<li>second</li>
</ul>
I'd like the lineabreaks filter to output an HTML like this:
<p>Plain text with newlines.<br/>
But it also has some html.</p>
<ul>
<li>first</li>
<li>second</li>
</ul>
But what I get is:
<p>Plain text with newlines.<br/>
But it also has some html.</p>
<ul><br />
<li>first</li><br />
<li>second</li><br />
</ul>
Any idea to prevent HTML parts to be line-breaked, but still allow the filter to do its job on plain text parts?
EDIT - #Shang Wang: The real-world usage for this filter is a backend for writers who are familiar with HTML and prefer not to use a rich text editor, but would still like to avoid typing "<br />" or "<p>" everytime they need to go to a newline.
Basically, what I'm trying to do is to emulate Drupal's "Filtered HTML" input filter, which is meant for editors who need a way to quickly write simple articles without using a WYSIWYG editor, but with the possibility to add more advanced HTML tags (like , , etc..) here and there.
Hope this helps to understand my goal, and sorry for my english.
EDIT 2 - #karison: I don't have a particular approach, yet. My current code is:
{{ myText | bleach | linebreaks }}
I'd like to avoid to write from scratch a custom filter just for this, so I don't have any code to show. As it's something that I've seen in Drupal and other CMS, I was hoping that there was some way to do it with the current linebreaks filter.
No I don't think it's possible and it doesn't make much sense. You could have new lines in your html section as well:
<p>This is a
multiple line text.
</p>
but they won't be shown as multiple lines when the browser is rendering them. Then what is the template filter suppose to do? I think the best option for you is to separate the text yourself in your views.
Edit:
First off I'm not aware of any such django template filter exists because your situation is too specific to make it a public template filter, also the requirement is complex and require a parser to distinguish between html and plain text.
Secondly, multi-line text is not rendered by inserting <br/> for each new line(w3school's doc). Instead you use the tag <pre></pre> to wrap your paragraph. In theory, for each block of plain text you could wrap <pre> around it, then the new lines will be shown "as is".

How can I convert an asterisk delimited text string to HTML using JSP?

I am working for a client who currently has their product attributes defined in a single textarea field in their CMS. The attributes are separated by asterisks (*)
e.g. * 100% cotton * Machine washable * Loose fit
I want to format these as an unordered list in html but WITHOUT the use of javascript or jQuery. They need to be rendered at JSP page load level.
Unfortunately, amendments to the CMS at this point are not possible for me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks to Alvaro, I used the following:
<c:set var="attribute" value="${product.attributes.value}"/>
<c:set var="attributeList" value="${fn:replace(attribute,'*', '<li>')}" />
<ul>
${attributeList}
</ul>

Is it at all possible to display HTML code in Wordpress?

I have tried countless plugins, codyfying HTML with escape keys, and my blood is beginning to boil. Switching between Visual and HTML mode is actually changing my content, ie destroying it!!!
OK, i figured out what to do.
First go into visual mode.
Select Preformatted in the formatting drop down. A little grey box is created.
Inside the grey box, copy and paste your raw HTML.
Save it and switch from visual to HTML views a few times. There should be no mangling.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL that you paste into visual tab, instead of in the text tab, or it will get stuffed up completely (very unintuitive. You would think it would work the other way araound).
Wordpress does a strange thing where if you switch between visual and "text" mode (HTML mode was renamed in 3.5 update) it strips any tags that appear empty which often times may not be. This might be what you are experiencing if I am understanding the problem correctly.
If you are just trying to display code on your website you should be able to wrap the code like this:
<code><p>Example code post</p></code>
This is laid out in these guidelines here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Code_in_Your_Posts
If it is a block of code that needs to not wrap you could also use the "pre" tag like so:
<pre><code><p>Example code post</p></code></pre>
This is described very well here: <code> vs <pre> vs <samp> for inline and block code snippets
Yes, it is absolutely possible. You can follow any of the above mentioned methods. I prefer the following way.
First of all, decode the HTML code using online html decoder. You can find any on google. Then, You can paste the decoded code on your post. The benefit of this method is that, your indentation won't be lost.
Decoded Code
Rendered View File
Hope, it helps future reader to find a way.
Wordpress is very buggy. It took me a long time to finally succeed. For my Wordpress.org installed on my pc I tried: go to visual mode, add pre-formatted text block, copy/paste decoded or encoded. I tried :
<pre><code><p>Example code post</p></code></pre>
That did not work.
The only way it works for me is:
Go to visual, instead of adding a pre-formatted text block I create a paragraph text block, copy/paste the encoded HTMl and then convert it to preformat.
Hope that helps.
Perhaps, You should try out this plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/insert-html-snippet/
Hope this helps!
One way to do is to make the code commented. Something like,
<!--div>
<md-divider class="org__meta-divider md-soc-theme"></md-divider>
<h4 class="org__meta-heading">Technologies</h4>
<ul layout="" layout-wrap="" class="org__tag-container layout-wrap layout-row">
<li class="organization__tag organization__tag--technology">web services</li>
</ul>
</div-->
instead of
<div>
<md-divider class="org__meta-divider md-soc-theme"></md-divider>
<h4 class="org__meta-heading">Technologies</h4>
<ul layout="" layout-wrap="" class="org__tag-container layout-wrap layout-row">
<li class="organization__tag organization__tag--technology">web services</li>
</ul>
</div>
