htmlencode

Is there some magic existing code in MVC 2 to Html.Encode() strings and allow certain html markup, like paragraph marks and breaks? (coming from a Linq to SQL database field)

A horrible code example to achieve the effect:

Html.Encode(Model.fieldName).Replace("&lt;br /&gt;", "<br />")

What would be really nice is to overload something and pass to it an array (or object) full of allowed html tags.
