Append Text to a complete html string

I have a string that's a full HTML document text - it ends with the closing html tag. I need to append text and newline to this htmlText. Sometimes I need to insert a line before the htmlText, sometimes after.

Is it correct to just do stringText + "'<'br/>" + htmlText + "'<'br/>" + moreStringText?

So far, what I tested looked right, but I'm not sure what the correct way to handle this is?

Thanks,

Mike T

I found the solution - using DevEx RichEditDocumentServer interface, I'm using the SubDocument InsertHtml and InsertText methods, and it's working great!

Any text that you want to be rendered as part of a webpage needs to be placed inside the <html> and </html> tags for it to be valid.

Passing the following 

<!doctype html><head><title>Html Page</title></head></html>

My text here

to the W3 HTML validator generates the following error:

Error: Non-space character in page trailer.
From line 3, column 1; to line 3, column 11
></html>↩↩My text here

Also, as slnit says, you should use a StringBuilder instead of using String concatenation.

What text are you wanting to add to the beginning or end of the HTML page?

You can use SringBuilder class.

string body = " some text";

        StringBuilder buildHtml = new StringBuilder();
        buildHtml.Append("<HTML>");
        buildHtml.AppendLine(body);
        buildHtml.Append("</HTML>");
        string sHtml = buildHtml.ToString();
