Question

When i'm trying to output with @Model.Text i see encoded html tags like <p> How can i disable this html-encode. Thank you.

Answer 1

You can use @Html.Raw(Model.Text) to achieve this.

Answer 2

If you are using the <%: syntax in your views, it will automatically encode all output. Using <%= does not perform the encoding.
