How to make Html.DisplayFor display HTML I read from the DB?

Question

I am using a CKEditor on my MVC project. I'm saving HTML into the DB. WHen I read it and display it on screen, what I get is

   &lt;p&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.cnh.com"&gt;www.cnh.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

I use Html.DisplayFor.

<td>
    @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.SampleCollectionInstructions)
</td>

How can I make it display the links properly and one per line??

Use Raw method to return markup without html encoded Ex;

@Html.Raw("<div>Some text</div>")

If anyone else is confused about doing this in loops, like I was:

You can just omit both DisplayFor and modelItem =>, so:

@Html.Raw(item.SampleCollectionInstructions)

You can Use

@Html.Raw(WebUtility.HtmlDecode(Item.APPTXT))
