I have a razor display template in MVC3 for an address. Here is an example of the coding I’ve used for one line of the address:

@Model.City<text>,</text>

When I place the comma straight after the variable name, it creates a syntax error. Adding the <text> tag around the comma fixes the problem, but it seems a bit messy when most of the razor code is so neat and concise.

Is there a neater and more concise way to do this?

Edit: This piece of code is inside an if block. I didn’t realise, but it turns out this affects how razar parses stuff.

    You can wrap the expression in parentheses to explicitly tell the parser where it ends:

    @(Model.City).

    Alternatively, you could use two expressions:

    @Model.City@('.')

    EDIT: I misunderstood your situation.
    Inside a code block (@if, @for, @{ ... }), the Razor parser is expecting code, not markup (or text).

    If you put an HTML tag or <text> tag in, it will know that you’re giving it markup.
    However, arbitrary text, such as ,, is assumed to be C# source.

    Instead of using the <text> tag to tell the parser that you’re giving markup, you should use @:

    @Model.City@:,
