Hi guys,
I’m new to this list and it seems you are my last hope.
How can I prevent Rails from automatically escaping HTML entities when
creating a hyperlink?
You know, link_to( … :title => ‘This is „quoted“’) returns
‘This is „quoted“’ because Rails escapes the ampersands to
&.
Is there a way I can stop/alter this behaviour so I can use these
numeric references in my title tag?
Kind regards

I think the easiest way would be to write out the link by hand, using
url_for instead of link_to.
Something like: <a href=<%= url_for … %> title=“<%=@title%>” />
Though I think you have a bug somewhere else. Why do you have escaped
HTML stored as data? Are you escaping input? (a bad idea)
The only reason I can think of at the moment to store escaped HTML
would be as a caching thing, perhaps you could use the built in Rails
caching?
