Question

I am storing some html inside an xml document similar to this:

<news>
    <item>
        <title>some title</title>
        <story>some text<![CDATA[<p/>]]> some more text</story>
    </item>
</news>

I read the xml into a model object that is used in an MVC 3 view with razor syntax.
Everything displays fine except the html that I have in the CData sections is printed to the screen as is similar to this:

some title

some text<p/>some more text

My view looks like this:

<h2>@Model.Title</h2>
<p>
    @Model.Story
</p>

but obviously i’m missing something on the rendering of the story. I even tried doing a @HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Model.Story) but that gave me the same result.

How can I get it to render this?

some title

some text

some more text

Use the Html.Raw helper:

@Html.Raw(Model.Story)
