Rails 3 link_to inside a string

Everytime I am trying to combine a string with a link_to it is outputting in my browser as escaped HTML.

eg.

%(TEST #{link_to(object.title, object)})

OUTPUTS

TEST <a href="/objects/3">TEST OBJECT</a>

Why is this happening ? Every example I see on net the link_to does not get escaped.

Output is escaped by default in Rails 3. If you append .html_safe to your string it will do what you expect.

%(TEST #{link_to(object.title, object)}).html_safe
