I have a simple RSS feed for a website I'm trying to build. I want to do a read more link for posts and limit the output to 300 characters. My code looks like this:
<p id="notice"><%= notice %></p>
<h1 class="reviews">What They're Saying About Us</h1>
<br />
<h1 class="post-title"><%= image_tag("icons8-rss-40.png") %>RSS Feed</h1>
<% @home_blogs.each do |p| %>
<div class="blog-posts">
<h3><%= p.name %></h3> | <%= p.created_at.to_date %>
<br />
<p id="blog_post_content">
<% if p.entry.length > 200 %>
<%= truncate(p.entry, length: 300).html_safe %>
<%= link_to "...read more", p %>
<% else %>
<%= p.entry.html_safe %>
</p>
<% end %>
<br />
<%= image_tag("if__hashtag_2559811.png")%>Tag Cloud
<div class="tag-cloud">
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
<span class="pagination"><%= will_paginate @home_blogs %></span>
<br>
For whatever reason the html tags are included when I create a post even though I'm doing html_safe. Any ideas? Thanks
