Using link_to with embedded HTML

Two ways. Either:

<%= link_to user_path(@user) do %>  <i class="icon-ok icon-white"></i> Do it@<% end %>

Or:

<%= link_to '<i class="icon-ok icon-white"></i> Do it@'.html_safe, user_path(@user) %>

ruby-on-rails twitter-bootstrap

I had the same need recently. Try this:

<%= link_to '<i class="icon-ok icon-white"></i> Do it'.html_safe, user_path(@user) %>

ruby-on-rails twitter-bootstrap

You have also the possibility to create an helper method like below:

def link_fa_to(icon_name, text, link)  link_to content_tag(:i, text, :class => "fa fa-#{icon_name}"), linkend

Adapt the classes to your needs.
