link_to root appears empty

Question

In rails when using:

<h1><% link_to "Home", root_url %></h1>

Nothing appears inside the tags. My routes.rb is:

MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
  root :to => 'posts#index'
  resources :posts
  match "/help" => "help#index"
end

Answer 1

You forgot about the = sign:

<% link_to
