Hi all,

in Rails3 you have label support for activerecord model attributes by  
default.

Since Rails3 defaults to “no-html-safe” strings, you need to  
append .html to your key in order to process it as html. This however  
does not seem to work for activerecord model attributes. E.g.

activerecord.attributes.job.name.html =\> “Titel van jou job \*\</  
span\>”

when i put the following on a form;

\<%= f.label :name %\>

it returns the following error;

“translation data {:html=\>“Titel van jou job \*”} can not  
be used with :count =\> 1”

Leaving the .html returns the string but in a non-html-safe way.

Is there a workaround for this?

Best regards,

Stijn
