Combining raw HTML and a rails variable in a link_to

Question

I've got a link_to that looks like this

<%= link_to site.name, site %>

I want to add a font icon from bootstrap into the anchor text, but when I try to use raw() for that, I can't figure out the syntax for including the site.name hook.

This is what I'm trying:

<%= link_to raw("<i class="icon-hdd"></i> site.name"), site %>

That's not working. How do I change that line to make it work?

Have you tried the do syntax?

<%= link_to site do %>
  <i class="icon-hdd"> </i> <%= site.name%>
<% end %>

You need to interpolate site_name into the string.

<%= link_to raw("<i class='icon-hdd'></i> #{site.name}"), site %>

Also be careful with the quotes - you had double quotes inside double quotes which is not valid.
