Question

Is it possible to use an Ajax.ActionLink method with an HtmlString as the link text and not a string?

The reason for this is that I want to do something like so:

@Ajax.ActionLink("<span style='highlight'>Hello</span> World", ...)

If I try this now, it’ll return the span etc.. on my page. So I need to return it as a HtmlString

EDIT:

Just tried:

        public static MvcHtmlString ActionLink(
        this AjaxHelper ajaxHelper,
        IHtmlString linkText,
        string actionName,
        Object routeValues,
        AjaxOptions ajaxOptions
    )
    {
        return ActionLink(ajaxHelper, linkText, actionName, routeValues, ajaxOptions);
    }

And I got a stack overflow exception?
