Hi,
I’m new to Dash so…
Just a quick question. Using dash with plotly in python…
I see there at all these calls to make html tags… html.H1() etc…
But I have a load of html text I need to display.
ITs already in a file and I would prefer just to cut and paste it.
Is there any way just to have Dash dump out a string containing HTML tags?
And not have it write out the tags but actually let them be interpreted as HTML by the browser?
`mystring = "
This is the first sentence.
this is the second"`
gets output as
This is the first sentence.
This is the second.
Rather than as
`
This is the first sentence.
this is the second`
Thanks

See `dash_dangerously_set_inner_html`

Thanks …
I did a ‘pip install’ of that and tried to use it as per the readme.
```auto
html.Div([
dash_dangerously_set_inner_html.DangerouslySetInnerHTML('''
Header
'''),
])
```
But now I get a warning in vscode that says
`Module 'dash_dangerously_set_inner_html' has no 'DangerouslySetInnerHTML' member`

That’s just a warning, you can ignore that. We used to dynamically generate the components on-the-fly and so code editors would complain. We don’t do that with newer components but haven’t ugpraded this library yet.

Thanks @chriddyp, but I wasn’t getting any output … just wasn’t outputting anything at all on the page…
So I just gave up and went with dcc.markdown… and that’s doing the job well enough.
Thanks again for taking the time

Actually… interesting to note…
dcc.Markdown actually has a property called **`dangerously_allow_html`**!!
Anyone else who might be interested 🙂

I can’t get this to work, it just says module not found and won’t run
