Trying to display two spaces between sentences in HTML error message

Question

I know that browsers highlight extra spaces after one space. I usually use "  " to include a second space between sentences in my HTML.

In any case, I use ASP.NET MVC 3 and try to display an error message that is introduced to the page using the presentation model (as opposed to encoding directly into the HTML template). When I add "  " to the error line that I put in the view model, I get "  " on the resulting web page, I assume that MVC 3 HTML encodes the final rendering of the view.

Does anyone know a way around this so that I can regain my favorite double distance between sentences? :)

Thank!

Use Html.Raw()in the view or change the view model from stringa HtmlString. In any case, get around the HTML encoding. As long as you are sure that it will be a "safe" line for rendering, everything should be fine.
