How do I embed additional HTML inside of a link_to call?

Here is my desired result:

<a href="/exercies/show/1"><i class="icon-show"></i>Show</a>

Here is my link_to call

<%= link_to "Show", exercise_path(exercise) %>

It is cleaner if you wrap it in a do block

<%= link_to exercise_path(exercise) do %> <i class="icon-search"></i> Show <% end %>

<%= link_to '<i class="icon-search"></i> Show'.html_safe, exercise_path(exercise), :class => 'btn btn-small' %>

.html_safe is required so that it is not escaped.
