I have a column in a DB which has the value: 

<p>Something</p>

When i receive it, how do i transform it in a html paragraph? Thanks!

    that _is_ a paragraph. – Moob Dec 02 '16 at 15:43

    What language are you using? What have you tried? How is it not already an HTML paragraph? Please clarify your question. – Jorick Spitzen Dec 02 '16 at 15:43

As if the string is a HTML entity, you can use jQuery.parseHTML() like this:

var element = $.parseHTML("<p>Something</p>");

Hope this helps!

var stringInDB = '<p>Something</p>'; //get the string
$('#target').html(stringInDB);       //set the content (the string as html) of the elemtn where you want to put that string
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="target"> <div/> <!-- where you want to put you string as html -->

If you are using Angular (which it looks like from the tagging) you could always include ngSanitize and bind the scope element in your template:

<div ng-bind-html="ctrl.stringProperty">
  ...
</div>
