Answer 1

You have probably a htmlentities() or htmlspecialchars() somewhere in the code that displays the HTML code. If you put in the HTML as you quoted it into a HTML page, it should turn up as desired.

Answer 2

question not clear to me, so here are my solutions:

coming from database/post:
- you are having an escaped string: do html_entity_decode() for getting real html - you are having a not escaped string: do htmlentities() for getting an escaped string

coming from ckEditor:
- you want to get plain text: use getText() for the domElement - you want to get html: use getData() for the editor

there is always some threat for injection, so be careful to not allow eg. script-tags
