The problem is that the ValidationMessage and ValidationSummary methods internally use the SetInnerText() method which automatically encodes the values you have saved in the Model Errors.

Like queen3 suggests, you'll have to write your own versions of these methods to overcome this.

You can see original methods in the MVC2 source code here.

Replace tagNameHere.SetInnerText(value) with tagNameHere.InnerHtml = value

Important Note: Please make sure you take great care with where the information displayed in these messages comes from, you're allowing html now, so you're susceptible to Cross Site Scripting
