If it is fixed content, use the second pattern (though note that in HTML,
you do not enclose text in quotes as you have). If you need to generate the
content dynamically, just pass the data from the controller to the view,
build the HTML structure in the view, and insert the data where needed. For
some tips on using the HTML helpers vs. raw HTML in the views, see
