Answer 1

You can use innerHtml directive.

<div [innerHTML]="theHtmlString"></div>

In Component class

theHtmlString=  '<table><thead><tr> <th scope="col">Home</th> <th scope="col">Page </th> <th scope="col">World </th> <th scope="col">HE </th> <th scope="col">MAN</th> <th scope="col">GO</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>1</td><td>145</td><td>42</td></tr><tr><td>12</td><td>3125</td><td>315</td><td>2554</td><td>5542</td><td>331255</td></tr></tbody></table>';

You need to sanitize your html before displaying it in the template.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { DomSanitizer, SafeHtml } from '@angular/platform-browser';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `
  <div [innerHtml]="safeHtml"></div>
  `,
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  safeHtml: SafeHtml;

  constructor(private sanitizer: DomSanitizer) { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.safeHtml = this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(
      '<button>Click me</button>'
    )
  }
}
