Symfony2 : Auto htmlentities using Twig

Question

I'm displaying some variable retrieved in my database using Twig :

<p>{{ my_variable }}</p>

The thing is this variable may contain html tags, such as "<br />".

Twig seems to automatically call some htmlentities-like function when displaying variables.

Is there any way to disable it so that when I display a variable containing "Hello<br />world !" I get :

Hello 
world !

rather than :

Hello<br />world !

Thanks

Answer 1

Use {{ my_variable|raw }} to prevent my_variable from being automatically escaped.

See Twig documentation: http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/filters/raw.html

Answer 2

Try using this

{% autoescape false %}{{ my_variable}}{% endautoescape %}
