    Ampersands in regular expressions

    Hello,

    I have an email address on my form which is validated against the following regular expression:

    ^[A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[A-Za-z0-9](?:[A-Za-z0-9-]*[A-Za-z0-9])?\.)+[A-Za-z0-9](?:[A-Za-z0-9-]*[A-Za-z0-9])?$

    When the expression is output into the markup the ampersands are HTML encoded giving the following regex:

    ^[A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[A-Za-z0-9](?:[A-Za-z0-9-]*[A-Za-z0-9])?\.)+[A-Za-z0-9](?:[A-Za-z0-9-]*[A-Za-z0-9])?$

    Is there any way I can stop the ampersands from being HTML encoded?

    Yeah update the views to use Html.Raw() will also fix this in the next maintenance release

    Details on customizing the views can be found here http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/contour/documentation/Developer/Custom-Markup/
