The browser detect the html tag and generate the relevent view of data string (i.e i am paragraph tagged word)

Controller:

 @test=Text\.find\(1\)

View:

&lt;div&gt;Text from database: &lt;span style=&quot;xxxx&quot;&gt;&lt;%\.\.\.@test\.word%&gt; &lt;/span&gt;

Expected output in browser:

  Text from database:  i am paragraph tagged word

Note: It is working fine in rails 2.3.8

Result output in browser for rails 3.0.1:

Text from database: &lt;p&gt; i am paragraph tagged word &lt;/p&gt;

Why i didn't get the html result generated output in rails 3.0.1 Corrector suggest me what went wrong ?

Rails escapes your html for you these days, and by default it will assume that a piece of text of unknown provenance is not safe and so will escape it. You can either use the raw view helper or call html_safe on the string itself, ie

<%= raw some_method_returning_html %> or <% some_method_returning_html.html_safe %>
