haml/RoR: How to make a substring of a rails label have %i applied to it

I am trying to apply an html tag to a substring of a rails form_for label, in the following context. 

=f.label  :question_7, "The Portrait of a Lady _ Henry James, an American author."

When I would like to do the following

"<i> The Portrait of a Lady </i> _ Henry James, an American author."

I tried using the #{} string interpolation operator and putting %i in there but that doesn't work and neither is it an intuitive solution. I similarly tried to vanilla HTML tags in the string which also doesn't work. If I wrap the tag in quotes, it just places the tag itself in the string, and if I don't, the view blows up saying it doesn't expect a < brace which makes sense cause its haml.

Thanks for your help!

One way using html_safe. I'm sure there are other ways using content_tag as well.

= f.label :question_7, "<i>The Portrait of a Lady</i> _ Henry James, an American author.".html_safe

Or, use a block:

= f.label :question_7 do
  %i The Portrait of a Lady
  _ Henry James, an American author
