      # Creates an anchor element of the given +name+ using a URL created by the set of +options+.
      # See the valid options in the documentation for +url_for+. It's also possible to
      # pass a String instead of an options hash, which generates an anchor element that uses the
      # value of the String as the href for the link. Using a <tt>:back</tt> Symbol instead
      # of an options hash will generate a link to the referrer (a JavaScript back link
      # will be used in place of a referrer if none exists). If +nil+ is passed as the name
      # the value of the link itself will become the name.
      #
      # ==== Signatures
      #
      #   link_to(body, url, html_options = {})
      #     # url is a String; you can use URL helpers like
      #     # posts_path
      #
      #   link_to(body, url_options = {}, html_options = {})
      #     # url_options, except :method, is passed to url_for
      #
      #   link_to(options = {}, html_options = {}) do
      #     # name
      #   end
      #
      #   link_to(url, html_options = {}) do
      #     # name
      #   end
      #
      # ==== Options
      # * <tt>:data</tt> - This option can be used to add custom data attributes.
      # * <tt>method: symbol of HTTP verb</tt> - This modifier will dynamically
      #   create an HTML form and immediately submit the form for processing using
      #   the HTTP verb specified. Useful for having links perform a POST operation
      #   in dangerous actions like deleting a record (which search bots can follow
      #   while spidering your site). Supported verbs are <tt>:post</tt>, <tt>:delete</tt>, <tt>:patch</tt>, and <tt>:put</tt>.
      #   Note that if the user has JavaScript disabled, the request will fall back
      #   to using GET. If <tt>href: '#'</tt> is used and the user has JavaScript
      #   disabled clicking the link will have no effect. If you are relying on the
      #   POST behavior, you should check for it in your controller's action by using
      #   the request object's methods for <tt>post?</tt>, <tt>delete?</tt>, <tt>patch?</tt>, or <tt>put?</tt>.
      # * <tt>remote: true</tt> - This will allow the unobtrusive JavaScript
      #   driver to make an Ajax request to the URL in question instead of following
      #   the link. The drivers each provide mechanisms for listening for the
      #   completion of the Ajax request and performing JavaScript operations once
      #   they're complete
      #
      # ==== Data attributes
      #
      # * <tt>confirm: 'question?'</tt> - This will allow the unobtrusive JavaScript
      #   driver to prompt with the question specified (in this case, the
      #   resulting text would be <tt>question?</tt>. If the user accepts, the
      #   link is processed normally, otherwise no action is taken.
      # * <tt>:disable_with</tt> - Value of this parameter will be used as the
      #   name for a disabled version of the link. This feature is provided by
      #   the unobtrusive JavaScript driver.
      #
      # ==== Examples
      # Because it relies on +url_for+, +link_to+ supports both older-style controller/action/id arguments
      # and newer RESTful routes. Current Rails style favors RESTful routes whenever possible, so base
      # your application on resources and use
      #
      #   link_to "Profile", profile_path(@profile)
      #   # => <a href="/profiles/1">Profile</a>
      #
      # or the even pithier
      #
      #   link_to "Profile", @profile
      #   # => <a href="/profiles/1">Profile</a>
      #
      # in place of the older more verbose, non-resource-oriented
      #
      #   link_to "Profile", controller: "profiles", action: "show", id: @profile
      #   # => <a href="/profiles/show/1">Profile</a>
      #
      # Similarly,
      #
      #   link_to "Profiles", profiles_path
      #   # => <a href="/profiles">Profiles</a>
      #
      # is better than
      #
      #   link_to "Profiles", controller: "profiles"
      #   # => <a href="/profiles">Profiles</a>
      #
      # You can use a block as well if your link target is hard to fit into the name parameter. ERB example:
      #
      #   <%= link_to(@profile) do %>
      #     <strong><%= @profile.name %></strong> -- <span>Check it out!</span>
      #   <% end %>
      #   # => <a href="/profiles/1">
      #          <strong>David</strong> -- <span>Check it out!</span>
      #        </a>
      #
      # Classes and ids for CSS are easy to produce:
      #
      #   link_to "Articles", articles_path, id: "news", class: "article"
      #   # => <a href="/articles" class="article" id="news">Articles</a>
      #
      # Be careful when using the older argument style, as an extra literal hash is needed:
      #
      #   link_to "Articles", { controller: "articles" }, id: "news", class: "article"
      #   # => <a href="/articles" class="article" id="news">Articles</a>
      #
      # Leaving the hash off gives the wrong link:
      #
      #   link_to "WRONG!", controller: "articles", id: "news", class: "article"
      #   # => <a href="/articles/index/news?class=article">WRONG!</a>
      #
      # +link_to+ can also produce links with anchors or query strings:
      #
      #   link_to "Comment wall", profile_path(@profile, anchor: "wall")
      #   # => <a href="/profiles/1#wall">Comment wall</a>
      #
      #   link_to "Ruby on Rails search", controller: "searches", query: "ruby on rails"
      #   # => <a href="/searches?query=ruby+on+rails">Ruby on Rails search</a>
      #
      #   link_to "Nonsense search", searches_path(foo: "bar", baz: "quux")
      #   # => <a href="/searches?foo=bar&amp;baz=quux">Nonsense search</a>
      #
      # The only option specific to +link_to+ (<tt>:method</tt>) is used as follows:
      #
      #   link_to("Destroy", "http://www.example.com", method: :delete)
      #   # => <a href='http://www.example.com' rel="nofollow" data-method="delete">Destroy</a>
      #
      # You can also use custom data attributes using the <tt>:data</tt> option:
      #
      #   link_to "Visit Other Site", "http://www.rubyonrails.org/", data: { confirm: "Are you sure?" }
      #   # => <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/" data-confirm="Are you sure?">Visit Other Site</a>
      #
      # Also you can set any link attributes such as <tt>target</tt>, <tt>rel</tt>, <tt>type</tt>:
      #
      #   link_to "External link", "http://www.rubyonrails.org/", target: "_blank", rel: "nofollow"
      #   # => <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">External link</a>
      def link_to(name = nil, options = nil, html_options = nil, &block)
        html_options, options, name = options, name, block if block_given?
        options ||= {}

        html_options = convert_options_to_data_attributes(options, html_options)

        url = url_for(options)
        html_options["href".freeze] ||= url

        content_tag("a".freeze, name || url, html_options, &block)
      end

      # Generates a form containing a single button that submits to the URL created
      # by the set of +options+. This is the safest method to ensure links that
      # cause changes to your data are not triggered by search bots or accelerators.
      # If the HTML button does not work with your layout, you can also consider
      # using the +link_to+ method with the <tt>:method</tt> modifier as described in
      # the +link_to+ documentation.
      #
      # By default, the generated form element has a class name of <tt>button_to</tt>
      # to allow styling of the form itself and its children. This can be changed
      # using the <tt>:form_class</tt> modifier within +html_options+. You can control
      # the form submission and input element behavior using +html_options+.
      # This method accepts the <tt>:method</tt> modifier described in the +link_to+ documentation.
      # If no <tt>:method</tt> modifier is given, it will default to performing a POST operation.
      # You can also disable the button by passing <tt>disabled: true</tt> in +html_options+.
      # If you are using RESTful routes, you can pass the <tt>:method</tt>
      # to change the HTTP verb used to submit the form.
      #
      # ==== Options
      # The +options+ hash accepts the same options as +url_for+.
      #
      # There are a few special +html_options+:
      # * <tt>:method</tt> - Symbol of HTTP verb. Supported verbs are <tt>:post</tt>, <tt>:get</tt>,
      #   <tt>:delete</tt>, <tt>:patch</tt>, and <tt>:put</tt>. By default it will be <tt>:post</tt>.
      # * <tt>:disabled</tt> - If set to true, it will generate a disabled button.
      # * <tt>:data</tt> - This option can be used to add custom data attributes.
      # * <tt>:remote</tt> -  If set to true, will allow the Unobtrusive JavaScript drivers to control the
      #   submit behavior. By default this behavior is an ajax submit.
      # * <tt>:form</tt> - This hash will be form attributes
      # * <tt>:form_class</tt> - This controls the class of the form within which the submit button will
      #   be placed
      # * <tt>:params</tt> - Hash of parameters to be rendered as hidden fields within the form.
      #
      # ==== Data attributes
      #
      # * <tt>:confirm</tt> - This will use the unobtrusive JavaScript driver to
      #   prompt with the question specified. If the user accepts, the link is
      #   processed normally, otherwise no action is taken.
      # * <tt>:disable_with</tt> - Value of this parameter will be
      #   used as the value for a disabled version of the submit
      #   button when the form is submitted. This feature is provided
      #   by the unobtrusive JavaScript driver.
      #
      # ==== Examples

      # specialize the default behavior (e.g., show a "Start Here" link rather
      # than the link's text).
      #
      # ==== Examples
      # Let's say you have a navigation menu...
      #
      #   <ul id="navbar">
      #     <li><%= link_to_unless_current("Home", { action: "index" }) %></li>
      #     <li><%= link_to_unless_current("About Us", { action: "about" }) %></li>

      #     <li><a href="/controller/index">Home</a></li>
      #     <li>About Us</li>
      #   </ul>
      #
      # ...but if in the "index" action, it will render:

      #
      # The implicit block given to +link_to_unless_current+ is evaluated if the current

      # Creates a mailto link tag to the specified +email_address+, which is
      # also used as the name of the link unless +name+ is specified. Additional
      # HTML attributes for the link can be passed in +html_options+.
      #
      # +mail_to+ has several methods for customizing the email itself by
      # passing special keys to +html_options+.
      #
      # ==== Options
      # * <tt>:subject</tt> - Preset the subject line of the email.
      # * <tt>:body</tt> - Preset the body of the email.
      # * <tt>:cc</tt> - Carbon Copy additional recipients on the email.
      # * <tt>:bcc</tt> - Blind Carbon Copy additional recipients on the email.
      # * <tt>:reply_to</tt> - Preset the Reply-To field of the email.
      #
      # ==== Obfuscation
      # Prior to Rails 4.0, +mail_to+ provided options for encoding the address
      # in order to hinder email harvesters.  To take advantage of these options,
      # install the +actionview-encoded_mail_to+ gem.
      #
      # ==== Examples
      #   mail_to "me@domain.com"
      #   # => <a href="mailto:me@domain.com">me@domain.com</a>
      #
      #   mail_to "me@domain.com", "My email"
      #   # => <a href="mailto:me@domain.com">My email</a>
      #
      #   mail_to "me@domain.com", "My email", cc: "ccaddress@domain.com",
      #            subject: "This is an example email"
      #   # => <a href="mailto:me@domain.com?cc=ccaddress@domain.com&subject=This%20is%20an%20example%20email">My email</a>
      #
      # You can use a block as well if your link target is hard to fit into the name parameter. ERB example:
      #
      #   <%= mail_to "me@domain.com" do %>
      #     <strong>Email me:</strong> <span>me@domain.com</span>
      #   <% end %>
      #   # => <a href="mailto:me@domain.com">
