Don't escape html in ruby on rails

Question

rails 3 seems to escape everything, including html. I have tried using raw() but it still escapes html. Is there a workaround? This is my helper that I am using (/helpers

You can use .html_safe like this:

def good_time(status = true)
  if status
    "Status is true, with a long message attached...".html_safe
  else
    "Status is false, with another long message".html_safe
  end
end

<%= good_time(true) %>
