ASP.NET MVC4 - display HTML containing string as raw HTML
asp.net, asp.net-mvc, asp.net-mvc-4, html
Solution
Use Html.Raw()
@Html.Raw("<span>Hello</span>")
All the output from helpers and other elements in Razor are put through `HttpUtility.HtmlEncode`, unless they implement `IHtmlString`. But your best option here is using `Html.Raw()`
Problem
I have a string, read from a database, that contains HTML that I want to output. Despite applying `HttpUtility.HtmlDecode()`, the View always renders the string as encoded HTML (i.e. `<SPAN>` instead of `<SPAN>`). I am using: ``` string test = WebUtility.HtmlDecode(myStr); <span>@test</span> ``` I have tried: ``` string test = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(myStr); <span>@test</span> <span>@HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(myStr)</span> ```
