The correct way of showing data as HTML

I've used ASP.NET MVC5 in my project. I want to show data that recorded in database as a part of HTML page. As a simplest data in database that recorded, I have <div>This is a div.</div>

And in cshtml file I have

<div>
    @Html.DisplayFor(m => m.Description)
</div>

But data does not show as a HTML tag.

How can I explain to the browser that my data must be interpreted as an HTML tag?

Use @Html.Raw instead of @Html.DisplayFor.

Most of the HTML helper functions in Razor automatically encode the values to help prevent cross-site scripting attacks. If you're going to render raw HTML into the user's browser I hope you've sanitized it to prevent attacks.
