title: Rails and the <span> tag
body: <p>I'm fairly new to Ruby on Rails, and I'm attempting to create some fancy CSS buttons using the "sliding doors" technique. I have it almost working, but I feel like there has to be a better way to handle the  tags for a link.</p>
  
  <p>The way I'm currently doing it:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;%= link_to '&lt;span&gt;New car&lt;/span&gt;', {:action =&gt; "new"}, :class=&gt;"button" %&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This isn't terrible, per se, but I would like to know if this is the best way to handle span tags in RoR.</p>
