ToWebString will allow some well known HTML-tags to stay unchanged. You specify what tags this in siteSettings in your web.config. I prefer to use HtmlEncode myself. It feels a little bit safer...

HttpUtility.HtmlEncode encodes to much I think, å, ä and ö for example. /Hans You mention .ToWebString() and I prefer that over using HttpUtility.HtmlEncode.

Look at Relate+ templates where they use extension methods a lot. It could also be a good complement...

If this does not work as expected you might found a defect - so please send more details! 2) Yes, xhtmlString should not be encoded since it should be valid. The messy html from the text editor is washed before it is saved. I guess there is flaws in the process. Could you share a few example what comes through? Hi Magnus!

For example, if the property rendered is a PageReference, the link text will not be HtmlEncoded. The same thing goes for links inside XhtmlString properties. The first one is probably easy to solve by using something other than a Property control, but the second one is much more tricky since it will contain xhtml so it can't just be HtmlEncoded. Any other suggestions on how to handle these problems? It seems that EPiServer:Property does not emit valid xhtml in all cases.

I think that EPiServer should have a lot to win by providing a common static library for property handling.
