title: Using Bootstrap Badges Within @Html.ActionLink
body: <p>I'd like to create a basic bootstrap <a href="http://getbootstrap.com/components/#badges" rel="nofollow">button with a badge</a> using Razor @Html.ActionLink syntax. I tried the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Html.ActionLink(@Html.Raw("&lt;span class=\"badge\"&gt;42&lt;/span&gt;")+"System Message Here", "Index", "Message", null, new { @class = "btn btn-default" })
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which results in <a href="http://i.imgur.com/w47AhLM.png" rel="nofollow">this</a>. I would like to see the badge icon instead of the HTML. What is the correct syntax? Thanks in advance.</p>
