Laravel DataTable plugin is outputting code with htmlentities

Question

I am using this DataTable plugin for Laravel, which is for using This jQuery DataTable plugin.

I Followed the instructions found here, so this is my controller:

class FeedbackController extends Controller {

    public function UserFeedback(Request $request) {
        $t = Datatable::make(new CollectionProvider(FeedbackModel::all()))
            ->column('overall')
            ->build();

        if ($t->shouldHandle()) {
            return $t->handleRequest();
        }

        return view('admin.feedback', ['datatable' => $t->view()]);
    }

}

And this is in my view:

{{
    $datatable->html()
}}

But for some reason when I load the page it is outputting the html with htmlentities like this:

&lt;table id=&quot;dataTable&quot;&gt;
    &lt;/table&gt;&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
    jQuery(document).ready(function () {
        // dynamic table
        oTable = jQuery(&#039;#dataTable&#039;).DataTable({
            &quot;processing&quot;: true,
            &quot;serverSide&quot;: true,
            &quot;ajax&quot;: &quot;/&quot;,
            &quot;columns&quot;: [
                                { &#039;data&#039;: &#039;overall&#039; },
                            ]
        });
    });
&lt;/script&gt;

Why is it doing this?

This will help you (taken from laravel docs)

Displaying Raw Text With Curly Braces

If you need to display a string that is wrapped in curly braces, you may escape the Blade behavior by prefixing your text with an @ symbol:

@{{ This will not be processed by Blade }}

If you don't want the data to be escaped, you may use the following syntax:

Hello, {!! $name !!}.

Use that on this...

{{
    $datatable->html()
}}

Ignore the above, that is the wrong way around, do the below...

Or

You can decode the html like this...

htmlspecialchars_decode($datatable->html())

and output that...
