Allowing html code in string output

Question

On a razor page I am displaying a string. The string contains a '-' that I would like to replace with a "<br />" so that it breaks on the dash.

 <h3>@Model.Location.Name.Replace(" - ","<br />")</h3>

This of course doesn't work because the system encodes the output so I get

Mylocation<br />MyLocation2

instead of the desired break.

Is there a way to force the break?

I have edited your title. Please see, "Should questions include “tags” in their titles?", where the consensus is "no, they should not". — John Saunders

@Html.Raw("<br />")

In your code this would be:

<h3>@Html.Raw(@Model.Location.Name.Replace(" - ","<br />"))</h3>

So I ended up with this '<h3>@Html.Raw(@Model.Location.Name.Replace(" - ","<br />"))</h3>' Worked like a charm.

Similar to @walkhard's answer but provided in the context of your code.

<h3>@Html.Raw(@Model.Location.Name.Replace(" - ","<br />"))</h3>

Edit: Looks like you got it!
