Hi everyone,  
I’ve a little problem with “link\_to”.  
I’d like to change the text color inside the link: “My name is Matteo”  
I’d like to write “My name is” in red and “Matteo” in blue.  
And the whole written has to point “:controller=\>‘welcome’,  
:action=\>‘myself’”  
Is it possible without breaking the underline and with the same color of  
the underline (red)?  
What should I do?  
THANKS SO MUCH!  
Matte
