Double quotes inside string HTML [duplicate]

Question

I want to store this:

<span class="icon phone">m</span>

in a string. How do I do this?

Tried: @"<span class="+"icon phone"+">m</span>";

Tried: @"<span class="+@"icon phone"+">m</span>";

Please help!

Answer 1

use single quotes, instead.

var html = "<span class='icon phone'>m</span>";

or double the quotes in a literal string

var html = @"<span class=""icon phone"">m</span>";

or escape the quote characters with the backslash character

var html = "<span class=\"icon phone\">m</span>";

Answer 2

You can also omit the @ and escape the double quote with a backslash \:

"<span class=\"icon phone\">m</span>"

Answer 3

How about

new XElement("span", new XAttribute("class", "icon phone"), "m").ToString()
