ASP.NET MVC Enumerable to delimited HTML in Razor

Question

I discovered that I can use string.Join(", ", string[] enumerable) to turn a list of strings into a single comma delimited string. Could I do something similar to produce for example a list of hyperlinks in a Razor View? Instead of something like:

@foreach(var item in enumerable) 
{
    <a href="@item.Url">@item.Title</a>
    if(item != enumerable.Last()) { <span>, </span> }
}

And if so, would it be advisable or should I just stop being lazy?

Stop being lazy :). You would need to include the html markup in the 'comma delimited string' and use `Html.Raw()` to generate it in the view. — , Jan 27 '16 at 11:01
You're right. The accepted answer there is what I was looking for. My bad! — Lawyerson, Jan 27 '16 at 11:15

@Html.Raw(string.Join("<span>, </span>", enumerable.Select(item => string.Format("<a href=\"{0}\">{1}</a>", item.Url, item.Title))))

Html.Raw, whilst perfectly safe in this case should always be used with caution. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14550149/best-practice-for-prevent-xss-hacking – ste-fu Jan 27 '16 at 11:15
Does what I asked for but, as has been pointed out, my question turns out to be a duplicate. Sorry! – Lawyerson Jan 27 '16 at 11:21
Lovely one-liner for making lists with tooltips. – justiceorjustus Oct 30 '19 at 16:07
