Razor Mediator extra Text tags appearing in HTML

Question

Using an if statement while templating using the Razor mediator:

@if (...) {
    <text><div></text>
}
@if (...) {
    <text><div></text>
}
@if (...) {
    <text></div></text>
}

But while using these <text> tags, sometimes extra </text> tags will be rendered out for no apparent reason. Any idea why these are being rendered out?

Answer 1

It appears that the Razor mediator does not test for tag name when attempting to balance tags. I was able to fix this by removing some of the <text> tags.

@if (...) {
    <div></text>
}
@if (...) {
    <div></text>
}
@if (...) {
    <text></div>
}

Additionally, this issue could be avoided altogether by utilizing a different method to render unbalanced tags altogether as mentioned in this post: How to include partial (unbalanced) html in a Razor Mediator if statement?
