Step 2: Render HTML Safely

To safely render the HTML content, you can take advantage of React's dangerouslySetInnerHTML attribute. Here’s how to incorporate this into your component:

Explanation:

Typography Component: This is where we render our text. The variant="subtitle2" defines the style of the text.

Ternary Operator: We're checking if execSummary exists. If it does, we display that; otherwise, we use dangerouslySetInnerHTML to inject our HTML safely.

dangerouslySetInnerHTML: This is a React property that allows you to set HTML directly from your data. Be aware of potential risks related to XSS (Cross-Site Scripting); ensure that the content you are rendering is safe.

Conclusion

With this approach, you not only make your content presentable but also maintain the integrity of the styles you wish to apply. Now you can move forward with a clearer understanding and confidence to handle HTML in your projects.

Good luck, and happy coding!
