UMBRACO Razor - Write Out a Sub String and Write out a Substring Encoding

The Highlighted lines below shows you how to write out a Substring from Razor in Umbraco.

1) @Html.Raw(@item.HomePageIntro.ToString().Substring(0, 290))
or
2) @item.HomePageIntro.ToString().Substring(0, 290)

(Example 1 will write out the HTML characters, Example 2 removes Encoding.)

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@{ var numberOfItems = 6; }

        <strong>@item.PageHeading </strong>
