          You can create your class as follows



          public static class HeaderTagBuilder
          {
          public static string Header2(this HtmlHelper helper, string text, string id)
          {
          return Header2(helper, text,id, null);
          }

          public static string Header2(this HtmlHelper helper,string text, string id = null, object htmlAttributes = null)
          {
          // Create tag builder
          var builder = new TagBuilder("h2");
          //add the text
          if (text == null)
          text = string.Empty;//just create an empty string

          builder.SetInnerText(text);

          // Create valid id
          builder.GenerateId(id);

          // Add attributes
          builder.MergeAttributes(new RouteValueDictionary(htmlAttributes));

          // Render tag
          return builder.ToString(TagRenderMode.Normal);
          }


          What you where missing is the line




          builder.SetInnerText(text);

          • Thanks - this is correct - though I should have mentioned that I am using .Net Core 2.1 and I don't think .SetInnterText exists. I think what I need to do is figure out how to do this with a 'TagHelper`?
