[Solved] How do I prevent html tags from appearing in output from editor

[Jome Akpoduado]

Hello,
I'm digging my hands into the MVC editor for the first time. I'm encountering this problem. When I wish to display the value of the editor in another page, I still get the html tags showing in the output like this...
<p>Welcome!!</p><p>Example text to be shown in browser</p>
I would like for this to be rendered as
Welcome
Example text to be shown in browser
Is there a way to make this happen without setting ValidateRequest to false?

Thanks.

Hi Jome,

Thank you for your interest in our products.

You should decode the editor value before storing or displaying it as outlined in the introduction topic:

public ActionResult Save(string notes)
{
   // HTML decode the value before using it.
   notes = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(notes);

   // ...
}

If you're using the Razor view engine then you need to prevent the automatic encoding:

@Html.Raw((string)ViewData["value"])

I hope this helps.
