mailto and HTML

What? Can you please provide more information..

This is the code for mailto:

{{ HTML::mailto('someone@example.com') }}

I guess this is the famous issue with escaping html in L5 :)

Try:

{!! HTML::mailto('someone@example.com') !!}

But why not just write the html yourself? I don't see the benefit in using the HTML facade? It just makes your views mutch more unreadable imho.

<a href="mailto:someone@example.com">someone@example.com</a>

The HTML helper mailto obfuscates the address, like so; http://laravel-recipes.com/recipes/192/generating-a-html-link-to-an-email-address

Yes I use the mailto facade because laravel crypt the email address. I use L4 so I will escape the string with {{{ ... }}} Thanks :)

There shouldn't be a need to use {{{ or {!! to escape it? What are you trying to put in the mailto() part? :/

I try to put I I want to put a text with a bootstrap icon in a span tag

@bashy ah did not know that! Got to remember this one ;)

@MThomas Yeah handy to stop bots seeing it (not sure how basic it is though).

@6ber6ou Yeah the thing is, it puts it all into the a href link so you'll find it will add span and class stuff into the email? These are the only things you can put into it

HTML::mailto($email, 'title', $attributes);
// Obfuscate an e-mail address to prevent spam-bots from sniffing it

Do you know which method is called to obfuscates the email ? May be I can manually call this method without use mailto.

Yes: https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/4.2/src/Illuminate/Html/HtmlBuilder.php#L348
