  2. Tags helpers to strip HTML, make safe URLs and more
  3. Tag fluent API to create complex HTML using code
  4. HtmlPage helper to change the page title, add meta- and open-graph headers etc.

We have an rich series of RazorBlade tutorials. You should really check them out 👍.

Example

The following example is taken from the tutorials. It shows how to use @Text.Zip(...) to ensure that a string containing random white spaces is cleaned up. This is useful for counting visible characters or truncating text.

@inherits Custom.Hybrid.Razor12
@using ToSic.Razor.Blade;
@{
  var samples = new string[] {
    "This        contains multi-spaces and \t\t\t tabs",
    "This has \n  \n line-breaks"
  };
}

<h2>Correct and incorrect Character Counts</h2>

<table class="table table-hover" width="100%">
    <!-- table header -->
    <tr>
        <th>Html output hides the problems</th>
        <th class="table-warning">Whitespace output showing problems</th>
        <th>Length</th>
        <th class="table-success">Output using Text.Zip(...)</th>
        <th>Zip Length</th>
    </tr>
    <!-- the real code -->
    @foreach(var s in samples) {
      <tr>
        <td>@s </td>
        <td  class="table-warning" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">@s</td>
        <td>@s.Length </td>
        <td class="table-success" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">@Text.Zip(s)</td>
        <td>@Text.Zip(s).Length</td>
      </tr>
    }
</table>
