  Display markup as text

  Nov 27, 2012 09:33 PM|LINK

  "the element to the to indicate listings with multiple related locations."

  I've tried <text></text> and @:

  Try HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlEncode(yourText).  This will convert angle brackets into &lt; and &gt;

  Sorry, I forgot to mention that I tried HTML.RAW which produces the exact same result.

  Unfortunately you are too correct.  It does convert the < > to &lt; and &gt.

  Sorry the <code> tags didn't work.  I tried a few other suggestion found in those two links but had no luck.

  I accidentally found the answer though, I used

  @("<location_group_id>")
