Icon Link in Laravel 4

Can someone help rewrite this, from HTML to Laravel4?

<a href="index.php" ><span><i class="icon-home"></i></span> Home </a>

The route name for this page is simply "/". I know how to write a simple link in Laravel:

 {{ HTML::link('/','Home) }}

But how can I add a span class with a font-awesome icon?

I would just put the link in href.

 <a href="{{ url('/') }}"><span><i class="icon-home"></i></span> Home</a>

No need to generate anything else through Laravel.

What @Dries offers is simple and very simple, but you really want it to be done completely through Laravel, I would suggest writing an HTML macro, especially if you want to use more complex html structures. For example, here is a macro for the <a><img /></a> structure:

  HTML::macro('image_link', function($url = '', $img='img/', $alt='', $param = false, $active=true, $ssl=false) { $url = $ssl==true ? URL::to_secure($url) : URL::to($url); $img = HTML::image($img,$alt); $link = $active==true ? HTML::link($url, '#', $param) : $img; $link = str_replace('#',$img,$link); return $link; });
