title: Are <%: and <%= the same thing as embbed code (expression) blocks
body: <p>Having just started with MVC 2 I notice that in their starter template they use</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%: Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home")%&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I was sure that in MVC 1 it was</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%= Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home")%&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Are they the same thing?  If so, why the change from equal sign to colon.</p>
