title: Create an ActionLink with HTML elements in the link text
body: <p>In an ASP.NET MVC view I'd like to include a link of the form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="blah"&gt;Link text &lt;span&gt;with further descriptive text&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Trying to include the <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> element in the <code>linkText</code> field of a call to <code>Html.ActionLink()</code> ends up with it being encoded (as would be expected).</p>
  
  <p>Are there any recommended ways of achieving this?</p>
