How do I wrap a link around view code? I can't figure out how to pass multiple lines with ruby code to a single link_to method. The result I am looking for is that you click the column and get the show page:

<div class="subcolumns">
  <div class="c25l">
        <div class="subcl">
        <%= image_tag album.photo.media.url(:thumb), :class => "image" rescue nil  %>
        </div>
    </div>
  <div class="c75r">
        <div class="subcr">
            <p><%= album.created_at %></p>
            <%= link_to h(album.title), album %>
            <p><%= album.created_at %></p>
            <p><%= album.photo_count %></p>
        </div>
  </div>
</div>

link_to takes a block of code ( >= Rails 2.2) which it will use as the body of the tag.

So, you do

<%= link_to(@album) do %>
  html-code-here
<% end %>

But I'm quite sure that to nest a div inside a a tag is not valid HTML.

EDIT: Added = character per Amin Ariana's comment below.

For older Rails versions, you can use 

<% content_tag(:a, :href => foo_path) do %>
  <span>Foo</span>
<% end %>

You can use link_to with a block:

<% link_to(@album) do %>
    <!-- insert html etc here -->
<% end %>
