Passing html as macro parameters
For one of my razor macros I want to have the option to allow some before and after text which can, if necessary be html. I have this working in XSLT by using disable-output-escaping however don't know how to get it working in razor.

This is part of my macro
```
string before = @Parameter.insertBefore;

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(before))
{
    @Html.Raw(before)
}
```
When I use Html.Raw it outputs the <p> on the page, the html has been encoded. However if I don't use Html.Raw I get the text as it is sent to the parameter.

Using Html.Raw
```
&lt;p&gt;
```
Not using Html.Raw
```
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;
```
Does anyone know how to solve this.

If I understand you correctly, you could decode the input then output it raw:
```
@Html.Raw(Server.HtmlDecode(before))
```

This doesn't seem to be working now in 6.1.3 using MVC :(

This is the html output with the various encodings. Can anyone advise how to fix.
```
@Html.Raw(Server.HtmlDecode(Parameter.afterText)) = &lt;p&gt;
```
```
@Server.HtmlDecode(Parameter.afterText) = &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;
```
```
@Parameter.afterText = &amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;gt;
```

Hi Suzyb,

Please try @Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(before)).

For me it's working in umbraco 6.2.1
