I have a Rails app (blog) that I am creating. Very basic stuff. In my content area I have a text area for the content of the post. I am needing to include some html in the text

With the forthcoming Rails 6, you will be able to use a new rich_text_area tag to create a rich text editor in your forms like this:

<%= form_with(model: article) do |f| %>
  

    <%= f.label :content %>
    <%= f.rich_text_area :content %>
  
<% end %>
