Rails 4 - Font Awesome Icons in Links
<p>Im trying to figure out how to make a link in my show page.</p>

<p>I want a link to </p>

<pre><code>&lt;%= @project.external_link %&gt;.  
</code></pre>

<p>I want to display it as:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;%= link_to '&lt;i class="fa fa-link"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;' %&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I've tried at least 20 variations on combining these two and I can't find a way that works.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how to display a font awesome icon, with a link to a dynamic field?</p>
