I created a blog (for coding practice). I use a Rich Text Editor (ckeditor) and save the post to a database. When I pull the post out to display in a Label.Text, it shows all the HTML tags: 

<p><strong>there was</strong> once a fox that lived</p>
<p> in the<span style="color: #ff0000"> woods</span></p>

How do I get the post to display, with the proper formatting (paragraph, color, etc.), but without the HTML tags?

FYI: The literal produced the same result as the Label ... but I got my answer, this works:

string strHTML = "<p>Hello World!</p>";
Label.Text = Server.HtmlDecode(strHTML);
