I have HTML code edited by FCKEditor stored in a database and would like to display (well render) it onto a view. So, for instance, something stored as:

<>pre<>This is some sample text<>pre</&gt

Will be displayed to the user as:

This is some sample text

(With the appropriate style for pre-formatted-text)

The view already has the required string to display from ViewData, I'm just not sure what the best way to show it to the user is.

<%= System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(yourEncodedHtmlFromYouDatabase) %>

this doesn't work for Razor, for Razor use @Html.Raw(System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Model.yourhtmlvalue))
Checking the date of my answer .. it was PRE Razor :P
Thanks for bringing the date to my attention Pure, I have quoted just for somebody's info, its true Razor was not in existence when u posted your answer.

The answer provided by Pure.Krome is flawless for MVC2, but consider Razor syntax:

@Html.Raw(System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Model.yourEncodedHtmlFromYourDatabase))

Alternatively,

@Html.Raw(Server.HtmlDecode(Model.yourEncodedHtmlFromYourDatabase))

How can I make it so to be a link text

You want to use @Html.Raw(str).

See MSDN for more information.

Returns markup that is not HTML encoded.

This method wraps HTML markup using the IHtmlString class, which renders unencoded HTML.
