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 such a string with this function:

<textarea>
	<?php echo esc_html__('Any text with <span>HTML.</span>', 'kama'); ?>
</textarea>

#1.2 Same as in the first example but in a different way

<?php echo esc_html( __('Any text with <div>HTML.</div>', 'kama') );

// Or so
echo esc_html__('Any text with <div>HTML.</div>', 'kama');
