  ASP.NET MVC 4: Noisy HTML output where spaces replaced with HTML encodings

  Jun 16, 2012 06:28 AM|LINK

  It seems in the actual RC there is a ton of "encoding noise" in the HTML output. Where output is expected to look like this:

  <input class="text-box single-line" id="Title" name="Title" type="text" value="Rio Bravo" />

  .. it instead looks like this:

  <input class="text-box&#32;single-line" id="Title" name="Title" type="text" value="Rio&#32;Bravo" />

  The conversion of spaces to the unicode HTML entity counterpart is technically correct but its usability for front-end developers will be horrendous. For example, the class attribute needs to be readable by CSS developers/desigers so that they can know to stylize the .text-box and the .single-line classes together or seperately.

  Any word on this?
