Sending HTML email templates using Laravel

php laravel-5.2 html-email email-templates

I have created a file with name dummy.blade.php which has the following code

<!DOCTYPE html>
 <html lang="en-EN">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
  </head>
  <body bgcolor="#11C9FF">
   {{$emailBody}}
  </body>
 </html>

And I am trying to send HTML content using:

 Mail::send('emailTemplates.dummy', ['emailBody'=>'<h1>TESTING</h1>'], function($message)
 {
 $message->to($myEmail)->subject('Password reset');
 });

And the email received is like this:

As per documentation that I should be receiving the html format but I am receiving simple text based email. Any clues?

Answer

Double curly braces escape the html inside of them, you need to use different syntax for an unescaped string.

So instead of

{{ $emailBody }}

you should use

{!! $emailBody !!}
