Using razor within an Umbraco template

Published
Tags:

Normally you restrict use of razor to the scripting folder in the developer tab and expose them via macros, but you can also use them inside a template by creating an inline macro.

<umbraco:Macro runat="server" Language="razor">
@{
    // insert razor here
    var href = "index.htm";
    <a href="@href">Home</a>
}
</umbraco:Macro>

This should only be done for small one-offs where you are unlikely to need to reuse the functionality, such as loading in the page title. Keep anything greater than that in the scripting folder.
