html from database

[mrherndon]

I've been having a hard time all day with this one.
I have a complicated templating system, but I'll simplify here.

So I've got some templates that pull from json:

They render as I would expect:, (note the text break)

And I have other ones that pull very similar content from the database. It essentially looks the same. But it renders it all as text.

I have tried wrapping the db entry in html`` and creating a function that wraps it. Nothing seems to work. Is there a way to insert html in a ${} and preserve the html-ness?

Hi,
lit provide unsafeHTML : https://polymer.github.io/lit-html/api/modules/_lib_unsafe_html_.html

Well, that is straight embarrassing. I'm already pulling repeat from lit anyway. Didn't even think to look through there.
As an added bonus, I was very close to doing exactly what unsafeHTML was doing but didn't think to innerHTML a template element. Apparently, it solves the issues that I was running into.
Thanks, @eskan, you rock.
After I confirm that it works, I'll come back and close this out, and my shame with it.

Yup, totally solves the problem.

No shame at all! Mistakes happen and this was easy to overlook. Glad the function solved your problem.
