Can I use a link_to to generate a link with a span inside?

Question

I am basically trying to get this result:

        
            Log in
            

        

Answer 1

The simplest way to do it is by using html_safe or raw functions

<%= link_to 'Log In'.html_safe %>

or using raw function (recommended)

<%= link_to raw('Log In') %>

Simple as it can get !!

Don’t use html_safe method unless you’re sure your string isn’t nil. Instead use the raw() method, which wont raise an exception on nil.
