title: Putting HTML inside Html.ActionLink(), plus No Link Text?
body: <p>I have two questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I'm wondering how I can display no link text when using <code>Html.ActionLink()</code> in an MVC view (actually, this is <code>Site.Master</code>). </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>There is not an overloaded version that does not allow link text, and when I try passing in just a blank <code>string</code>, the compiler tells me it needs a non-empty string. </p>
  
  <p>How can I fix this?</p>
  
  <ol start="2">
  <li><p>I need to put <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> tags within the anchor tag, but it's not working with <code>Html.ActionLink();</code>. I'd like to see the following output:</p>
  
  <p>Span text</li></p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>How can I put tags inside of the anchor tag in ASP.NET MVC?</p>
