Parse php plain text to html Magento 2

Question

I have a string HTML and have to convert(parse) it to HTML in PHP.

$stringHtml

How to convert this to HTML so that it all <p>, <br> tag works

this is Riskified decline email, and whatever content I add in its admin panel it prints as it is in email. so I have added html_entity_decode in $content

code

        $transport = $this->transportBuilder
            ->setTemplateIdentifier('riskified_order_declined') // this code we have mentioned in the email_templates.xml
            ->setTemplateOptions(
                [
                    'area' => \Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_FRONTEND, // this is using frontend area to get the template file
                    'store' => $order->getStoreId(),
                ]
            )
            ->setTemplateVars(
                [
                    "content" => html_entity_decode($content),
                    "subject" => $subject,
                ]
            )
            ->setFrom(
                [
                    "email" => $this->apiConfig->getDeclineNotificationSenderEmail(),
                    "name" => $this->apiConfig->getDeclineNotificationSenderName(),
                ]
            )
            ->addTo($order->getCustomerEmail(), $order->getCustomerName())
            ->getTransport();

This is what my email looks like. no formatting it just prints the

tag.

You need to make sure these points below are set up:

1. Change type="text" to type="html" in email_templates.xml, otherwise you'll get plain HTML in your mails.

2. Render the $content in the email using this format {{var content|raw}}

You need to inject these below classes in your construct. Add below code in your construct :

/**
 * @var \Magento\Cms\Model\Template\FilterProvider
 */
protected $filterProvider;

/**
 * @var \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface
 */
protected $storeManager;

/**
 * @param \Magento\Cms\Model\Template\FilterProvider $filterProvider  [description]
 * @param \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager    [description]
 */
public function __construct(
    .......
    \Magento\Cms\Model\Template\FilterProvider $filterProvider,
    \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
    .......
) {
    .......
    $this->filterProvider = $filterProvider;
    $this->storeManager = $storeManager;
    .......
}

/**
 * Return filter html data
 *
 * @return \Magento\Cms\Model\Template\FilterProvider
 */
public function getCmsFilterContent($contentData)
{
    $storeId = $this->storeManager->getStore()->getId();
    return $this->filterProvider->getBlockFilter()->setStoreId($storeId)->filter($contentData);
}

Now, call function getCmsFilterContent() in your phml file and pass html content varible in getCmsFilterContent() function as arguement.

or if you want to change in email template then, you need to use '|raw' with your param variable.

example: '{{var data|raw}}'

Hope, it will helpful for you.

basically, it should work without any issue if you just write

echo $stringHtml;

Please send me your screenshot if you are seeing no tags while echoing.
