Is it possible to not encode the Label tag value rendered in ASP.NET Core HtmlHelper? - encoding

Question

I asked a similar question a while back:
Is it possible to format Display attribute's Name property value of MVC Model class?
I am wondering would it be possible to not apply encoding in the ASP.NET Core HtmlHelper.Label tag?
What I have now is:
<label asp-for="CorporationName" class="control-label"></label>
I understand it will render the html .
Like so:
<label class="control-label" for="CorporationName">Corporation / <br/>Entreprise</label>
with the text value defined in this model class:
[DataType(DataType.Text)]
[Display(Name = "Corporation / <br/> Enterprise")]
public string Corporation { get; set; }
So I am wondering if it is possible to apply something similar to #Html.Raw to the asp-for attribute value in the label tag above so it will show as:
Corporation /
Enterprise
Or I need to write my own label class so it will do the encoding?
Thank you.

I think your requirement can be known as, you want to use tag helper and display [Display(Name = "Corporation / Enterprise")] to display as Corporation / </br> Enterprise.
Basically, you are trying to change the html content appearance, and you want to realize it via taghelper, but actually there's no such feature, you may try to create a custom taghelper like this answer. But I think it's too complex.
In my humble opinion, you can modify the html content by js. But the easiest way to add linebreaker into html content is </br>, so my test code looks like below, it worked for me:
<div>
<label id="CorporationLabor" asp-for="Corporation" class="control-label"></label>
<input asp-for="Corporation" class="form-control" />
</div>
#section Scripts{
<script>
$(function(){
$("#CorporationLabor").html("Corporation / </br> Enterprise!!!");
});
</script>
}
