ASP.NET Converting & to &. I need plain text

Question

I've looked around for a while for an answer but no one has one and everyone keeps saying it's how it's supposed to work. I need to render an & (ampersand) as plain javascript code. Not as a string.

if (@(Model.Month == null ? "now.getMonth() == tooltipItems[0].index" : "now.getMonth() == tooltipItems[0].index && now.getDay() == tooltipItems[0].index") && now.getFullYear() == $('#DistinctYears').val()) {
   //
} else {
   //
}

I need this section:

"now.getMonth() == tooltipItems[0].index && now.getDay() == tooltipItems[0].index"

To render as plain javascript code but when it renders, the ampersands automatically get converted to &&

Have you tried [Html.Raw](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35105587/how-does-html-raw-mvc-helper-work)? — John Wu, Jan 30 '20 at 23:47
Yes, I've tried Html.Raw("&&") and Html.Raw("&&"). Neither of which, work — Aquaphor, Jan 30 '20 at 23:51
Did you try putting the Html.Raw around the entire ternary expression statement? @Html.Raw(Model.Month...). Not just the && — Bryan Lewis, Jan 30 '20 at 23:55

Surround the entire ternary expression with Html.Raw():

@Html.Raw(Model.Month == null ? "now.getMonth() == tooltipItems[0].index" : "now.getMonth() == " + (Model.Month - 1) + " && now.getDate() == (tooltipItems[0].index + 1)")
