Question

I’m looking into creating a custom helper to do the following:

<a href="controller/"> <strong>Item</strong> </a>

I know that @Html.RouteLink(…) will handle the anchor for you but I wanted to insert the "<strong> </strong>" tag to it.

Other than to write a custom method to manipulate the string, I was wondering if there was a cleaner solution to this?

Thanks

Two options:

1. Use new { @class = "myClass" } as parameters to the helper and apply css to the link to make it bold.
2. Manually create the anchor’s URL (<a href="@Url.RouteUrl(...)) to the path you want using Url.RouteUrl
