How to pass raw html to Play framework view?

Question

I\'m trying to pass a simple URL to a view within a play framework app, however when passed as a string, the & in the url is changed to & w

Answer 1

To prevent the default escaping that happens for dynamic content on views you need to wrap the String with @Html(String) function:

View:

@(url: String)

   Go to: @Html(url) 

   not to: @url

Controller:

public static Result displayLink(){
   return ok(view.render("Stack Overflow"));
}

See The template engine page on the documentation for more info (specifically the "Escaping" section at the very bottom).
