Why put tags around the description, when we are wrapping it with tags in the view? Is it just to show Raw.HTML method?

just curious

Evan,

In this example, the surrounding tags do feel extraneous, but in these kinds of situations, we can't know for sure that the description value will always be formatted within a block level element. So, adding the "extra" surrounding <div> element is also a way to ensure that the description will always be rendered within a block level element.

Thanks ~James
