# HTML View The **HTML View** widget renders a string of HTML content inside your app.\ It’s useful when you want to display **rich text content** that comes from a server, CMS, or external source in HTML format, without manually building UI with multiple Text widgets. {% embed url="" %} Watch this on Youtube: ### Core Concepts The HTML View widget: * Takes a **raw HTML string** from the `content` property. * Parses it into a styled widget tree. * Renders it as readable, formatted text inside your app. * Allows you to **override styles** for specific tags like ``, ``, and `

` using style override properties. This is ideal when: * Your backend or CMS returns HTML. * You need to show “About”, “Terms & Conditions”, “Help”, or “Blog-like” content in the app. * You don’t want to manually convert HTML into multiple UI components. ### Properties | Property | Description | | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Content` | The HTML content string and shrinkwrap setting. The content includes the HTML string and whether the widget should shrink to fit. | | `Body Style` | Style overrides for the `` tag, including font, color, and other text styling properties. | | `Span Style` | Style overrides for `` tags, allowing customization of inline text styling. | | `Paragraph Style` | Style overrides for `
