Code for Tomas' answer:

public static class HtmlExtensions
{
  public static string ActionButton(this HtmlHelper helper, string value, 
      string action, string controller, object routeValues)
  {
    UrlHelper urlHelper = new UrlHelper(helper.ViewContext);
    var action = urlHelper.Action(action, controller, routeValues);

    var html = new StringBuilder();
    html.AppendFormat("
", action).AppendLine()
        .AppendFormat("    ", value).AppendLine()
        .AppendFormat("
").AppendLine();

    return html.ToString();
  }
}
