title: Is it possible to use an ActionLink containing an element?
body: <p>As the question says, Is it possible to use an ActionLink containing an element, and if not, what is the best way to achieve it?</p>
  
  <p>For example, lets say I have a <code>Span</code> element, I want the whole thing to be a hyperlink... The following works:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="/Site/Page/@Model.ID?Type=test"&gt;
                  &lt;span class="box5"&gt;Click anywhere in this box&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Imagine that span/css class box5 makes this large... Was originally a DIV, but, I found that didn't follow standards and this appears to follow ok.</p>
  
  <p>This renders and works fine, but, is there anyway to use an ActionLink instead? I have tried to guess the syntax such as (copying from forms):</p>
  
  <pre><code>@using (Html.Actionlink){&lt;span class="box5"&gt;Click anywhere in this box&lt;/span&gt;}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and many other combinations without any luck.</p>
  
  <p>Now, my manual HTML workaround works fine and I am happy to leave it, but, is it possible to use a MVC ActionLink, and if it is, should I even worry/would there be any benefits?</p>
