Razor will not put a character before
Hi

I have a simple razor script in Umbraco for a menu. I want to put an asterix in front of the links:
```
<ul>
    
@foreach (var page in Model.AncestorOrSelf(2).Children)
{
   <li>*<a href="@page.Url" title="@page.Name"> @page.Name</a></li>
}
</ul>
```
However, it renders like this putting the first asterix behind the link and not before:
```
First link *
```
```
* Second link
```
Anyone knows how to put the asterix in front of the link every time. Eventually by the attribute "InstertBefore", but any small trick will do :-)

Thank you in advance for any help.

<li> <a href="@page.Url" title="@page.Name"> @:* @page.Name</a></li>
```

Hi Fuji

Thank you for your answer. However I can still not make it work. When I save the code Umbraco returns an error:

"Error occured":" is not valid at the start of a code block. Only identifiers, keywords, comments, "(" and "{" are valid."

Do you know how to fix that error.

Regards,
Lars

Your first solution should actually work fine, I just tested myself.

I believe you might have some CSS that is moving it around a bit funny.

If you dont mind the asterix to be a part of the link you could do this:
```
<ul>
@foreach (var page in Model.AncestorOrSelf(2).Children)
{
   <li><ahref="@page.Url"title="@page.Name">* @page.Name</a></li>
}
</ul>
```
That should work, even with some funky CSS.
