Rather than you (or your users) have to manually type those HTML entity codes, I'd run the sample HTML through a function eg: B4X: Sub SampleHtml(H As String) As String Dim S As String = H S = S.Replace($"<"$, "<") S = S.Replace($">"$, ">") S = S.Replace($"""$, """) S = S.Replace($"'"$, "'") S = S.Replace($"&"$, "&") Return S End Sub and then I think your code would like like: B4X: sb.Append($"<html><head><title>Title</title></head><body><p>"$) /////////////// sb.Append(SampleHtml($"<html><head><title>Title</title></head><body><p>this is a sample that how to make html</p></body></html>"$)) ///////////// sb.Append($"</p></body></html>"$) Upvote 0
