Adding HTML tags to Scala Play output

Question

I am trying to bold certain phrases in a Play template output, but all it does is output the HTML tag:

@signs.map {sign =>
            <tr>
            <td>@sign(2).replaceAll(phrase, "<b>" + phrase + "</b>") <strong>(@sign(0) : @sign(1) - @sign(3))</strong> </td>
            </tr>
            }

From https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.5.x/ScalaTemplates#Escaping:

Escaping

By default, dynamic content parts are escaped according to the template type’s (e.g. HTML or XML) rules. If you want to output a raw content fragment, wrap it in the template content type.

For example to output raw HTML:

 @Html(article.content)

Not following how this relates to the issue I am running into. Can you please explain.

sign(2).replaceAll(phrase, "" + phrase + "") is a string containing HTML. Twirl (the Play template engine) escapes HTML by default. Wrap it in @Html(...) to write the raw string into the view.
