How to customize the will paginate links with images

I know this question is old, but perhaps you still want an answer. This is probably a good starting point. Create a helper such as app/helpers/will_paginate_helper.rb with the following content:

module WillPaginateHelper
  class DottedLinkRenderer < WillPaginate::ActionView::LinkRenderer
    protected
    def link(text, target, attributes = {})
      if target.is_a? Fixnum
        attributes[:rel] = rel_value(target)
        target = url(target)
      end
      attributes[:href] = target
      tag(:a, ".", attributes)
    end
  end

  def dotted_will_paginate(collection, options = {})
    will_paginate(collection, options.merge(:renderer => WillPaginateHelper::DottedLinkRenderer))
  end
end

then in your view use:

<%= dotted_will_paginate @posts %>

This is basically a custom link renderer based on the original link renderer.
