Any way to render HTML in react-markdown

Question

I am using tinymce to accept markdown data from user. The output data is html. I want to display that data on a page. I am using react-markdown for it. I can see data on page but it's HTML tags. Is there any way to show HTML page not tags?

export default function ThePage() {
  const markdown = {
    description: "<p>Hello from the other </p>\n<p><strong>side</strong></p>",
  }

  return (
    <>
      <ReactMarkdown children={markdown.description} />
    </>
  );
}

The ReactMarkdown component is for rendering mark down, not HTML mark up 😏. Given HTML input it just escapes it, and that's why you see it as "source", not formatted text.

If you need to use it with HTML you need to apply a plugin, such as rehypeRaw :

import ReactMarkdown from "react-markdown";
import rehypeRaw from "rehype-raw";

//...

export default function ThePage() {
  const markdown = {
    description: "<p>Hello from the other </p>\n<p><strong>side</strong></p>"
  }

  return (
    <>
      <ReactMarkdown children={markdown.description} rehypePlugins={[rehypeRaw]} />
    </>
  );
}
