[Rails] Trying to figure out generating html in controller

[Jedrin]

 So I have some old code that used to work and I am trying to
resurrect it.

 The controller has this:

 @content=""
  for i in 0..w.size
    @content = @content + "<span id=\"w#{i}\" style='display:none'>
#{w[i]} </span>"
  end
  @content = "<div style=\"font-size:100;color:blue;\">" + @content +
"</div>"

  @txt_divs = ""
  for i in 0..5
    span = ""
    for j in 0..10
      span = "#{span} <span id='sp#{i}_#{j}' style='display:none'> </
span>"
    end
    div = "<div> #{span} </div>"
    @txt_divs << div << "\n"
  end




In the view I then do this:


<%= @content%>

<%= @txt_divs %>


but what's get generated is this as literal text and not what I wanted
or what used to work:

&lt;div style=&quot;font-size:100;color:blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;span
id=&quot;w0&quot; style='display:none'&gt; Free &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span
id=&quot;w1&quot; style='display:none'&gt; Spirit &lt;/
span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;w2&quot; style='display:none'&gt; Boston
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;w3&quot; style='display:none'&gt;  &lt;/
span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;  &lt;span id='sp0_0' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/
span&gt; &lt;span id='sp0_1' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span id='sp0_2' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span
id='sp0_3' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp0_4'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp0_5'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp0_6'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp0_7'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp0_8'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp0_9'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp0_10'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;  &lt;span id='sp1_0' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/
span&gt; &lt;span id='sp1_1' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span id='sp1_2' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span
id='sp1_3' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp1_4'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp1_5'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp1_6'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp1_7'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp1_8'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp1_9'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp1_10'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;  &lt;span id='sp2_0' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/
span&gt; &lt;span id='sp2_1' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span id='sp2_2' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span
id='sp2_3' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp2_4'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp2_5'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp2_6'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp2_7'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp2_8'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp2_9'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp2_10'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;  &lt;span id='sp3_0' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/
span&gt; &lt;span id='sp3_1' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span id='sp3_2' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span
id='sp3_3' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp3_4'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp3_5'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp3_6'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp3_7'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp3_8'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp3_9'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp3_10'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;  &lt;span id='sp4_0' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/
span&gt; &lt;span id='sp4_1' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span id='sp4_2' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span
id='sp4_3' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp4_4'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp4_5'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp4_6'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp4_7'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp4_8'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp4_9'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id='sp4_10'
style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;  &lt;span id='sp5_0' style='display:none'&gt; &lt;/
