title: Display HTML in ASP.NET Literal Control
body: <p>I have the following ASP.NET Literal Control displayed on my page</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="col-md-8 text-justify"&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;
          &lt;asp:Literal ID="Literal1"
              Mode="PassThrough"
              Text= "&lt;%#:Item.Description %&gt;"          
              runat="server"&gt;
          &lt;/asp:Literal&gt;
  
      &lt;/p&gt; 
  &lt;/div&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This control is bound to a field in my SQL Server Table and a column called Description in the table contains the text with HTML tags like <code>&lt;p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;br&gt;</code> etc.</p>
  
  <p>However when the text is displayed in the Literal control, it is displayed as-is i.e the HTML does not get rendered.</p>
  
  <p>If the Literal control does not support rendering, what other options do I have?</p>
