multiline text display in razor core

I've taken multiline input with textarea html tag eg:

line 1

line 2 with <tags> and @ and <b> bold </b>

line 3

but how can I later display this?

If I use:

@Html.DisplayFor(m => m.MultilineText2)

it handles the special characters fine, but not the linebreak

If I use:

@Html.Raw(Model.MultilineText2.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br/>"))

it handles the linebreak, but not the special chars.

I just want the result to appear exactly as the user entered it (exactly as you see it in the example above)

If I understand correctly, what you want is to encode everything else except the linebreakers. But you don't need to care about that. Since there's a standard way by white-space :

pre-line

Sequences of white space are collapsed. Lines are broken at newline characters, at
, and as necessary to fill line boxes.

So, simply adding a white-space: pre-line will work:

<span style="white-space: pre-line">@Html.DisplayFor(m => m.MultilineText2)</span>

the generated html will be :

<span style="white-space: pre-line">line 1

 line 2 with &lt;tags&gt; and &amp;#64; and &lt;b&gt; bold &lt;/b&gt;

line 3</span>

Thanks for the reply, I've tested this, but this is not the desired result. I already got the input from a textarea tag, now I just want to display it as non-editable text on another page.
