ASP MVC3 insert html tag inside actionlink

Question

I'm new to the ASP MVC3 and I'm using Razor Engine.

My broplem is that I've build my main navigation in form

<nav> <ul> <li><a href=""><b>Link</b></a></li></ul></nav>

So how I can do this with the actionlink? I just need to insert b tag inside a tag.

Answer 1

Use @Url.Action() to get href value instead of @Html.ActionLink

Answer 2

Replace this:

<a href=""><b>Link</b></a>

With

@Html.ActionLink("<b>Link</b>", "Action", "Controller")

That may auto encode the <b></b>, so you can try:

@Html.ActionLink(new MvcHtmlString("<b>Link</b>").ToHtmlString(), "Action", "Controller")

Even more simply put, you can use @Url.Action("Action", "Controller"), in the link like:

<a href='@(Url.Action("Action", "Controller"))'><b>Link</b></a>
