Html markup in cakephp's $html->link, eg. $html->link('Hey')?

Question

I have this block of code in a cakephp .ctp file:

    Html->link(\'Hello Stack Overflow\',
            


        

Answer 1

You need to disable HTML entity conversion:

echo $this->Html->link(
    'Hello <span>Stack Overflow</span>',
    array('controller'=>'pages', 'action'=>'home'),
    array('escape' => FALSE)
);

Answer 2

or

echo $this->Html->link('Hello', array('controller'=>'pages', 'action'=>'home')).' '.$this->Html->tag('span', $this->Html->link('Stack Overflow', array('controller'=>'pages', 'action'=>'home')), array());
