How to convert a text input form to html in rails?

I'm trying to create a post model that has a text associated with it as the post. However, as I want to use it as a blog, I want to convert the text into html, like if my input text has blah I want it to display a large header.

This is my input form for the Post model so far:

 <p>
    <%= f.label :Title %><br>
    <%= f.text_field :Title %>
  </p>

  <p>
    <%= f.label :Post %><br>
    <%= f.text_area :Post %>
  </p>

So when I write a post, and use hello it shows up as that instead of html.

And this is my Post model

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :Post, :Title
  has_many :comments, dependent: :destroy
  validates :title, presence: true, length: { minimum: 5 }
end

Are you able to save posts into database? If yes then write below code

index method in your post controller

def index
posts = Post.all
end

index.html.erb

<%= @posts.each do |f| %>
  <%= f.Title %>
  <%= f.Post %>
<%end%>

Hope I answered what you were looking for.

You can use ckeditor,wysihtml5 whatever you prefered,so on text box you can have description with HTML Editor.

Now when you want to show HTML in UI

<%= @post.post.html_safe %> # it will convert your post field into an HTML
