asp.net mvc 3 - What does HTML.Raw do?

Question

Is HTML.raw() specific to MVC? On what scenarios we have to use it?

Can you please explain with an example.

Answer 1

Text output will generally be HTML encoded. Using Html.Raw allows you to output text containing html elements to the client, and have them still be rendered as such. Should be used with caution, as it exposes you to cross site scripting vulnerabilities.
