I have an MVC3 app that has a details page. As part of that I have a description (retrieved from a db) that has spaces and new lines. When it is rendered the new lines and spaces are ignored by the html. I would like to encode those spaces and new lines so that they aren't ignored.
How do you do that?
I tried HTML.Encode but it ended up displaying the encoding (and not even on the spaces and new lines but on some other special characters)

Just style the content with
white-space: pre-wrap;
.
