It depends how you want to format the data. Suppose for instance that you want each name in a paragraph, a quick and dirty hack to do this would be to use something like:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach(string name in names)
{
sb.AppendFormat("<p>{0}</p>", name);
}Alternatively you could look at the HtmlTextWriter[^] class to do the job properly.

I think he's better off writing it the frist way. What benefit does the HtmlTextWriter have? I diodn't see any, myself.

If he is, and he's developing a custom control (again - unsure, so I've gone for the safe case here) then the HtmlTextWriter (and children such as the XhtmlTextWriter) are a good fit.

I would use WebUtility.HtmlEncode from System.NET library. It provides a correct encoding of '<','>' and '&' ,... Your html code would have bugs, if your string contains one of the chars and you don't encode them. You can decorate the converted string with html tags.
