After checking various solutions, following codes worked for me -

 try {
      $template_data = ['otp' => $otp, 'name' => $name];
      //send verification code
      Mail::send(['html' => 'email.account_verification'], $template_data,
                function ($message) use ($email) {
                   $message->to($email)
                   ->from('test@yourdamin.com') //not sure why I have to add this
                   ->subject('Account verification');

      return Response::json(['code' => 200, 'msg' => 'Sent successfully']);

You need to use:

{!! $text !!}

instead of

{{ $text }}

Blade automatically escapes any html when echoing unless you explicitly tell it not to.

Answer 3

Yeah the solution above work just fine..

use {!! $contents !!}

instead of this

{{ $contents }}

This {!! $contents !!} is for allowing html While this {{ $contents }} is just for plain text.

Answer 4

You need to specify html key in the first parameter:

Mail::send( ['html' => 'emails.newinvoice'], ['text' => $emailtext], 
//           ^^^^

Also replace auto-escaped block {{ }} with unescaped {!! !!} in the template:

<p> {!! $text !!} </p>
