Smarty displays raw HTML

Question

I am passing my HTML string to the $content variable and trying to display it, in the result I see raw HTML tags instead of the string markup.

Controller :

$content = "<strong>Test markup</strong>";

index.tpl :

{$content} - displays just raw variable content without markup: <strong>Test markup</strong> INSTEAD of the Test markup .

When I type manually the above variable content in the index.tpl then it works just fine so it seems to be some variable-related issue.

What have I tried:

{content|nofilter} - to be sure its not caused by any of the Smarty's variable filters.

Could someone help me to localize the problem?

Please try:

{$content|unescape:'html'}
