Razor Helper Syntax Auto Formatting Ugly. How to fix?

Question

So I just have a beef with the way Visual Studio formats razor code. I\'ve always had some problems with visual studio and how it formats UI code, it always seems to do a re

For all the people whingeing about Visual Studio, I think it's pretty impressive that it allows you to switch between HTML and C# without being told which language you're using.

On a more practical note, I think my advice would be to combine lots of the things shown above. Specifically ...

1. Avoid using @: to denote a literal string of HTML. Visual Studio frequently adds a line after it when you reformat your code, and even when it doesn't you can end up in an infinite recursion, using @ to then switch back to code, and so on. Use WriteLiteral for things not encoded in HTML tags, as suggested above; otherwise Visual Studio will detect HTML when you use a . If ...
2. ... you use the fantastic idea of inserting code in a @{ ... } block.

Given these two I've found that CTRL K, D to reformat code gave perfect results for a table block which has been driving me mad:

    @**@
    

@{
    foreach (var c in Model.Chapters)
    {
        if (c.Courseware2Id == c2.Courseware2Id)
        {
            
        }
    }
}
Perfect!  Thanks to all StackOverflow contributors above.
