title: Apply HTML tag to text instead of strip them when reading from SQL Server
body: <p>I have a problem when trying to read text HTML fields from database. basically, I have a short HTML snippet as below, it has been saved to the database as one row:</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;UL&gt;
      &lt;LI&gt;Metal stamp: 14k &lt;/LI&gt;
      &lt;LI&gt;Metal: yellow-gold&lt;/LI&gt;
      &lt;LI&gt;Material Type: amethyst, citrine, gold, pearl, peridot&lt;/LI&gt;
      &lt;LI&gt;Gem Type: citrine, peridot, amethyst&lt;/LI&gt;
      &lt;LI&gt;Length: 7.5 inches&lt;/LI&gt;
      &lt;LI&gt;Clasp Type: filigree-box&lt;/LI&gt;
      &lt;LI&gt;Total metal weight: 0.6 Grams&lt;/LI&gt;
  &lt;/UL&gt;
  &lt;STRONG&gt;Pearl Information&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
  &lt;UL&gt;
      &lt;LI&gt;Pearl type: freshwater-cultured&lt;/LI&gt;
  &lt;/UL&gt;
  &lt;STRONG&gt;Packaging Information&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
  &lt;UL&gt;
      &lt;LI&gt;Package: Regal Blue Sueded-Cloth Pouch&lt;/LI&gt;
  &lt;/UL&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to find a way to strip all HTML tags from main text, then read it to a model in MVC. Finally, I need to apply these tags to this main text again.</p>
