TS1109 when using an IHtmlHelper extension within a Razor View

_This issue has been moved from [a ticket on Developer Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/TS1109-when-using-an-IHtmlHelper-extensi/10855884)._

[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice]
Create a new ASP.NET Core WebApp (MVC)

Define an IHtmlHelper extension like this:

```
public static IHtmlContent SomeExtension(this IHtmlHelper html)
{
return html. Raw("content");
}
```

Use it within a cshtml view like this:

```
<script>

var content = @Html.SomeExtension();

</script>
```

Getting this warning:


If I put the statement within quotes, the warning goes away. However, the purpose of the extension is to preserve the type of the content. So for example if the output value of the extension is "true", then the javascript line will become "var content = true;" which means that the type of "content" will be a boolean which is the desired outcome. If I put it in quotes then it will be a string.

The code still works, the only issue is the warning at this point which started coming up after an update to VS2022. Not sure which one, I believe it was around late 17.10 or early 17.11.

My current version is **17.12.5**

Thank you!
