Question

This is my cshtml file in WebMatrix (Razor syntax). Is there some way to output the suit symbols using something really short like @S? That is, I want to reduce @Html.Raw(S) to @S. Can it be done somehow? I tried what I thought it might look like for the club suit, but it didn’t work.

@{
    var S = "♠";
    var C = @"Html.Raw(""♣"")";    
}

@Html.Raw(S)  <br />
@C 

<!-- output is 
♠ 
Html.Raw("&clubs;") 
-->

==============================================

Thanks @GSerg I get ♣ ♦ ♥ ♠ with your code:

@{
    var C = Html.Raw("♣");  
    var D = Html.Raw("♦"); 
    var H = Html.Raw("♥"); 
    var S = Html.Raw("♠"); 
}

@C  @D  @H  @S

Answer 1

var C = new MvcHtmlString("♣");

On the other hand,

var C = Html.Raw("♣");

does exactly the same.
