title: CKEditor4 Laravel Not Parsing HTML, Rather Outputs the Tags like <p>, <h1> etc
body: <p>My CKEditor displays just fine but when I modify text to be bold, italisized, etc... it doesn't render properly and just outputs with tags like so:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is a test of the editor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>I want these styles applied via the editor but it isn't working correctly. I'm using phpMyAdmin to test my website via localhost. This is a fresh installation of CKeditor.</p>
  <p>Here is how the form is coded:</p>
  <pre><code>    &lt;div class=&quot;content&quot; style=&quot;width: 50%;&quot;&gt;
      &lt;h1&gt;Create Post&lt;/h1&gt;
      &lt;div class=&quot;create-post-form&quot;&gt;
          {!! Form::open(['action' =&gt; 'App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@store', 'method' =&gt; 'POST']) !!}
              &lt;div class=&quot;form-group&quot;&gt;
                  {{Form::label('title', 'Title')}}
                  {{Form::text('title', '', ['class' =&gt; 'form-control', 'placeholder' =&gt; 'Title'])}}
              &lt;/div&gt;
              &lt;div class=&quot;form-group&quot;&gt;
                  {{Form::label('body', 'Body')}}
                  {{Form::textarea('body', '', ['id' =&gt; 'editor', 'class' =&gt; 'form-control', 'placeholder' =&gt; 'Body Text'])}}
              &lt;/div&gt;
              {{Form::submit('Submit', ['class'=&gt;'btn btn-primary'])}}
          {!! Form::close() !!}
      &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>Here is the create function in my controller:</p>
  <pre><code>        //creating the posting
      $post = new Post;
      $post-&gt;title = $request-&gt;input('title');
      $post-&gt;body = $request-&gt;input('body');
      $post-&gt;save();
  
      return redirect('/posts')-&gt;with('success', 'Post created successfully!');
  </code></pre>
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
