Using MVC5 and razor.
Case #1:
var url='~/path';
<a href='@url'>test</a>
WRONG I get: http://www.example.com/~/path
Case #2
var url='/path';
<a href='~/@url'>test</a>
RIGHT I get: http://www.example.com/path
Is there a way to have razor correctly interpret the tilde? in other words, if I absolutely want to include the tilde in a string as in case #1, is there a way to get it to work?
