writer.AddAttribute("myattribute", "No "encoding " required", False)
writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Img)
writer.RenderEndTag()
writer.WriteLine()
C#
// Control the encoding of attributes. 
// Simple known values do not need encoding.
writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Alt, "Encoding, \"Required\"", true);
writer.AddAttribute("myattribute", "No "encoding " required", false);
writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Img);
writer.RenderEndTag();
writer.WriteLine();
