This really should be so very simple…

I have an asp.net master page which is working as expected. It includes some asp: tags without any problems.

The master page also includes the line

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css?v=<%=variableName%>" />

which is not executing. The output HTML has this as

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css?v=&lt;%=variableName%>" />

I do not work in asp.net very much so hopefully I have missed something super simple. Any suggesions on how to stop my inline asp tags from being HTML-encoded?

Many thanks.

EDIT

So it just gets sillier

This works: href="css/main.css?v=<%:"variableName"%>" and outputs href="css/main.css?v=variableName"

However this doesn’t: href="css/main.css?v=<%:variableName%>" and outputs href="css/main.css?v=&lt;%:variableName%>"

Seriously I never thought I would say it but PHP makes WAYYY more sense!
