decoding strings in the ActionLink

I'm trying to decode the strings from the database, but when I try to use this code in an ActionLink the encoded values still display. 

var questionText = @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.QuestionText);
var decodedText = @Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(questionText.ToString()));

@if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
     {
       <h4>@Html.ActionLink(decodedText.ToHtmlString(), "Edit", new { id = item.QuestionId })</h4>
     }

What needs to be done for the text to display correctly in the ActionLink?

IHtmlString (which Html.Raw() returns) is only recognized by raw @ expresisons; not by other helper methods.

You need to write an <a> tag yourself.
