You can still use the same extension:

@umbraco.library.ReplaceLineBreaks(termsPage.GetProperty("manchet"))

Hi Sebastiaan

Thanks for your answer.

I'm getting an error when I try you snippet. There's a red line under this part:

termsPage.GetProperty("manchet")

When hovering in Visual Studio it says this:

Argument type 'umbraco.interfaces.IProperty' is not assignable to parameter type 'string'

You have any idea to why this happens?

And as an update this looks a little nicer:

@Html.Raw(umbraco.library.ReplaceLineBreaks(termsPage.Manchet))

Great Sebastiaan!

This caused some kind of error as well:

@Html.Raw(umbraco.library.ReplaceLineBreaks(termsPage.Manchet))

But this snippet works like a charm:

@Html.Raw(umbraco.library.ReplaceLineBreaks(termsPage.GetProperty("manchet").Value))

Thanks a lot.

See you friday :)

If you'd like a solution that is a little more clean. Drop the following code into your App_Code folder or add it to your project:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using umbraco.interfaces;
using umbraco.MacroEngines;
using Umbraco.Core.Models;

namespace StraylightDk
{
    public static class Extensions
    {
        //Extension for the old Razor Macroscripts model
        public static HtmlString Nl2Br(this System.Web.WebPages.Html.HtmlHelper html, IProperty property)
        {
            return Nl2Br(property.Value);
        }

        //Extension for the new Mvc Razor model
        public static HtmlString Nl2Br(this System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper html, IPublishedContentProperty property)
        {
            return Nl2Br(property.Value.ToString());
        }


        private static HtmlString Nl2Br(string value)
        {
            string result = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(value);

            result = Regex.Replace(result, "(\r\n|\n)", "<br />$1");

            return new HtmlString(result);
        }

    }
}

Now you can write your razor script like this:

@using StraylightDk
@{
    DynamicNode termsPage = Model.NodeById( Model._termsLink.ToString() );
}

@Html.Nl2Br(termsPage.GetProperty("manchet"))

This seems like a more "clean" way to do it.

Ahh that was a nice approach as well Michael.

I'm not that strong in C#, but looks like a nice method to use for a frontend'er like me :)

See you friday as well Michael!

Hi Michael,

Thanks for this Extension Method. I tweaked it a little:

//Extension for the new Mvc Razor model

    public static HtmlString ReplaceLineBreaks(this IPublishedContent content, string alias)

    {

        return Nl2Br(content.GetProperty(alias).Value.ToString());

    }

    private static HtmlString Nl2Br(string value)

    {

        string result = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(value);

        result = Regex.Replace(result, "(\r\n|\n)", "<br />$1");

        return new HtmlString(result);

    }

Now I can use in my Partial View Macro File like this:

@Html.Raw(Model.Content.ReplaceLineBreaks("mediaArticleSummary"))
