Adding span tag in Rails link_to
31,326
Solution 1
link_to
can take a block so I think you're after something like this:
<%= link_to '#', :class => 'button white' do %>
<span id="span">My span </span><%= @user.profile.my_data %>
<% end %>
Solution 2
A combination of the .html_safe
with #{@user.profile.my_data}
should work as well.
<%= link_to "<span id='span'>My span </span>#{@user.profile.my_data}".html_safe, "#", class: 'button white' %>
You can also use a content_tag
so it would look like:
<%= link_to(content_tag(:span, "My span ", id:"span")+"#{@user.profile.my_data}", "#", class: 'button white' %>
They're basically identical but one might be easier on the eyes for you. Also, I'm pretty new to coding so if this is dead wrong for some crazy reason, please just comment and I'll change it. Thanks.
Solution 3
link_to '#', :class => 'button white' do
<span id="span">My span </span>My data
end

I've looked on SO about how to add a
<span>
tag but I didn't see an example that placed the<span>
where I want using Rails 3link_to
:<a href="#" class="button white"><span id="span">My span </span>My data</a>
I tried something like:
<%= link_to(content_tag{:span => "My span ", :id => "span"} @user.profile.my_data, "#", {:class => "button white"}) %>
But that didn't work.
