Question

I have some HTML-encodet text in a database, and when I retrieve it I HTML-decode it. The problem is that the HTML tags are not interpreted, but displayed.

If I have the following paragraph:

<p>
	Hello World</p>
 

It will output:

<p> Hello World </p>

I output the code as following:

@Server.HtmlDecode(Model.Message)

What simple thing might I be missing?

Answer 1

You are missing the Html.Raw helper:

@Html.Raw(Model.Message)

Make sure that you have sanitized the input before since the Html.Raw helper will output the HTML as-is without encoding.
