Answer 2

The above answers are great. I'm going to include a link to Scott Guthrie's article on this, since it shows some more examples and explanations.

https://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/asp-net-mvc-3-razor-s-and-lt-text-gt-syntax

@if (p.UnitsInStock == 0 {
  <text>
    Donec in ante vitae purus consequat laoreet ut elementum
    purus. Ut ut tempus nulla, quis ultrices est. Integer
    pharetra ante in lectus porta, a lacinia ex faucibus. 
    Aliquam magna risus, pretium vel neque at, laoreet 
    ultrices lectus. Morbi posuere luctus risus. Nullam 
    tincidunt massa egestas nunc tempor scelerisque.  
  </text>
}


@if (p.UnitsInStock == 0 {
  @: Line 1
  @: Line 2
  @: Line 3
}

Answer 3

You can add text in as below:

@if(Model.foo)
{
    @:Hello World
}

when you use @ razor switch it to code block mode. Hence you need to specify text as above.

Answer 4

You could use @: to escape:

@if(Model.foo)
{
    @:Hello World
}

or the special <text> tag which is not outputted in the response:

@if(Model.foo)
{
    <text>Hello World</text>
}
