@ in asp.net mvc 3 preview 1 automaticly encodes html, is there an alternative way to let there be html?

think of this scenario:

@view.BestSitesEver.Replace("stackoverflow", "<h1>StackOverflow</h1>")

That would just print out: <h1>stackoverflow</h1>

You can use this

@MvcHtmlString.Create(site.Replace("stackoverflow", "<h1>stackoverflow</h1>"))

This will output the html string without encoding

@(new HtmlString(site.Replace("stackoverflow", "<h1>stackoverflow</h1>")))

As of MVC 3 you don't need to use MvcHtmlString anymore. @(new HtmlString("<h1>StackOverflow</h1>")) will work just fine. Any implementation of IHtmlString will work though. We're considering a helper or shortcut that would create the new HtmlString for you in the future.

A little bit late now but there's a convenient extension method in MVC3: Html.Raw():

@Html.Raw(site.Replace("stackoverflow", "<h1>stackoverflow</h1>"))

Is there any way of getting this to work within a declarative helper (ie - in App_Code)? Looks like all Html helpers are broken in there.
