HTML markup breaking razor using

Question

I have this markup:

@using (Html.BeginRouteForm("Default", new { controller = "Home", action = "Form" }, FormMethod.Post, new { @ID="FormId", @Name="FormId"}))
{
    <span>...</span>
    <div class="clearFloats"><!-- ---></div>
    <span>...</span>
}

And since moving to Razor 2, MVC 4 I now get the error:

The using block is missing a closing "}" character. Make sure you have a matching "}" character for all the "{" characters within this block, and that none of the "}" characters are being interpreted as markup.

If I remove the <div class="clearFloats"></div> code, everything is OK. I know the solution is to change these float clearing divs for a different construct of somesort, but why is it now breaking?

What is the content of those spans? Can't see why that would matter given what you said fixes the issue but it possibly contributes.. — Simon Whitehead

@SimonWhitehead It varies from page to page (TBH, mostly no spans... That was the simplest breaking example I could come up with to illustrate the query). — NikolaiDante

A temporary solution would be to wrap the  with @Html.Raw("") which seems to eliminate the error.

Edit: Actually the problem in your example is is the trailing three dashes ---> on the close comment tag. Remove one of those and it works correctly.
