Question

I fear this is a dumb question, but I can't seem to find the answer. Pretty sure what that makes me......

I have C# generated HTML (HtmlGenerator), to which I sometimes want to insert a line break at a certain part of a cell's innertext.

Here is how that comes out:

<TD >There are lots of extra &lt; br /&gt; words here </TD>

This then displays the <br/> as a part of my cell text - not good.

Am I missing an easy way to have the <br/> preserved and not converted to &lt, etc...?

thanks

Could you post the code you're using to generate the html? AFAIK, "HTMLGenerator" isn't a standard .Net class. — tloflin, Apr 22 '10 at 15:31

I think you want HttpUtility.HtmlDecode. See this SO thread.

You probably should put real newlines (\n) into your text to be converted. Then, if the HtmlGenerator doesn't convert those to <br> afterwards, you can use a standard string replace yourself.

If this table cell fragment is generated programmatically (in C# for example) then Environment.NewLine could be what you are after.
