How to output string as HTML when using html encode in view

Question

I am wondering how to get html markup language to be displayed in a web page when using Html Encode which is being used to replace some string like in the example below.

@(Html.Raw(Html.Encode(Model.Test).Replace("\n", "<br />")))

Of course, just using

@(Html.Raw(Model.Name)) e.g.<b>test/b> = test

Will achieve what I am asking for but then I will lose the replace code.

I could do this replacing functionality in the controller which may be the best method. However, I am intrigued to whether this can be done just in the view.

Thanks

Are you attempting to replace any "\n" entries with "<br />"? If so, you shouldn't need to encode.... — AutomationNation

Interesting, I will state that isnt the code i wrote, i have picked the code up, so therefore its a working piece of code, so I dont want to change it if necessary and just append it to write Raw html. How else can I replace it? — user3428422

You can use

@Html.Raw("<b>test</b>")

for this.

Html.Encode(Model.Test)

actually changes the string <b> to

&lt;b&gt;

so in fact I think this should be enough

@(Html.Raw(Model.Test.Replace("\n", "<br />")))

Thanks, I can see why this would work and of course complies correctly, I will test and then mark as correct, but thanks, a pretty simple solution
