Examples
#1 Output in the tag
If the translation has HTML tags or characters that need to be shown as it is, for example in <textarea> tag, then it is smart to translate it with this function:
<textarea>
<?php echo esc_html__('Any text with <span>HTML.</span>', 'textdomain'); ?>
</textarea> #2 Same as in the first example but in a different way
<?php echo esc_html( __('Any text with <span>HTML.</span>', 'textdomain') );
