Rails truncate helper with link as omit text

Question

I\'m quite long description that I want to truncate using truncate helper. So i\'m using the:

truncate article.description, :length => 200, :omission => \         


        

Answer 1

Dirty solution... use the method "raw" to unescape it.
you have to be sure of "sanity" of your content.

raw(truncate article.description, :length => 200, :omission => "... #{link_to('[more]', articles_path(article)}")

raw is a helper acting like html_safe .
bye

edit: is not the omission of being escaped , but the result of truncate method.
