C# Model string with newlines to javascript variable

Question

I have a model passed into a cshtml view, and I'm trying to create a variable with a string from the model. The problem is that the string contains newlines, and when I create the variable, the newlines are not converted, and I end up with an Unterminated string constant error in the Javascript.

Currently I'm doing this:

var something = @Model.string;

How can I pass the model attribute so that new lines are preserved in the javascript variable?

I'm finding these with this search. Remember it's important to search thoroughly before posting, not least because the answer is probably already here somewhere. — T.J. Crowder

@ReintJanHoiting: Part of that is probably missing, see the second link above. — T.J. Crowder

It might help you:

var something = @:Model.ToString();
