how to use html_safe in meta tag og:description content in ruby on rails

Question

I use og:description meta tag like this

<meta property="og:description" content="<%= @post.description.html_safe %>" />

But it shows description of post in top of the page.

You shouldn't use html_safe insinde of the meta tag. It breaks the tag if html tags are stored in @post.description. — kengo, Oct 09 '15 at 11:01
strip_tags might be useful in this case. http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/SanitizeHelper.html#method-i-strip_tags — kengo, Oct 09 '15 at 11:04

I have ever got this error in my php code to show og file. I thought, It will work to in rails. You just change "" into ''

<meta property="og:description" content='<%= @post.description.html_safe %>'/>

or

<meta property="og:description" content='<%= @post.description %>'/>

I hope this help you.
