Question

I’m attempting to use RazorEngine 3 to insert HTML elements into a template. When I try this, the resulting string (used later as HTML) ends up displaying the HTML markup rather than utilizing it to render the page.

Code:

var linkText = new HtmlString("<a href=" + location + ">" + linkName + "</a>");
string result = Razor.Parse(template, new {MyLink = linkText});

Template file:

Link to file: @Model.MyLink

Resulting HTML:

Link to file: <a href=http://blah.com>Blah link</a>

This functionality was working fine with RazorEngine 2, but I had to upgrade due to another glitch. Additionally, this is a console application so adding @Raw functionality might be complicated.

Answer 1

The answer ended up being to use a string type variable that is passed into the template. The template, in turn uses the Raw() method as seen below.

Code:

string linkText = "<a href=" + location + ">" + linkName + "</a>";
string result = Razor.Parse(template, new {MyLink = linkText});

Template File:

Link to file: @Raw(@Model.MyLink)
