Why doesn't the razor detect this as a code block in ASP.NET MVC?

Question

I have the following snippet:

<ul>
@foreach (var product in Model.Products)
{
    <li>@product.Name [e-mail]</li>
}
</ul>

It treats [e-mail] as a literal. How can I place the character before the @ character?

Answer 1

This scenario allows you to allow [e-mail](emails) to exist unhindered in existing markup. Use instead:

x@(product.Count)

(additional brackets immediately after @, i.e. @(...)indicate an explicit code expression)

or better html-wise:

×@(product.Count)

You can also find this conveniently:

×@product.Count

Answer 2

<li>@product.Name x@(product.Count)</li>
