            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Body, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
            <script>
                CKEDITOR.replace("Body", { htmlEncodeOutput: true });

Answer 1

you can use TextAreaFor instead of EditorFor:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Body, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
    </div>
    <div class="col">
        @Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Body, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
        <script>
            CKEDITOR.replace("Body", { htmlEncodeOutput: true });

        </script>
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Body, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
    </div>
</div>
