Using HTML Entities within Angular strings

Question

Given a string in my $scope model which contains an HTML entity, how do I ensure that the entity is properly displayed as an HTML character rather than a literal string?

Answer 1

You do not need $sce to bind to strings with html. All you need is to inject ngSanitize into your app (it is not a core module), and then use the ng-bind-html attribute directive.

JavaScript

var app = angular.module('app', ['ngSanitize']);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.title = '½ Cookies & Cream';
});

Html
