It is used in a helper - link_to. What I am doing is to create a 
variable to hold the link - @link. In the view I say:

<%= link_to 'Travel', {:action => "#{@link}", :title => 'Book travel 
online', :class => 'page_links', :target => 'new' %>

But the data that is held within the @link variable has characters that 
are replaced with hex values.
