HTML objects in Rails link_to

Question

How to embed HTML objects in link_to rails?

For example, & # 10029 will give you a star symbol, how can I insert it into a quote?

For instance,

<%= link_to " &#10029 Home", root_path %>

Thank!

Answer 1

Try the following:

<%= link_to raw("&#10029 Home"), root_path %>

Answer 2

Use this method to escape:

<%= link_to raw("&#10029 Home"), root_path %>

Do not use html_safe () unless you are sure your string is non-zero. Instead, use the raw () method, which will not throw an exception on nil.
