# How to display text in an MVC view with htmlattrbutes

I have the following [code](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85458/alan-turing-the-mastermind-behind-cracking-the-enigma-code-during-world-war-ii) :

```
@Html.ActionLink("Hello " + User.Identity.GetUserName() + "!", "Manage", "Account", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { title = "Manage" })
```

I just want to display the [text](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/301635/did-people-reinvent-texting-to-express-the-full-range-of-emotions) (with the correct htmlattribute) (i.e. no [link](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23633/link-builder))

Could you help me with the correct syntax please?

If i understand correctly,you want to show the text inside your link without an achor tag, but with your html attributes (title attributes)

**Try this**

```
<span title="Manage">Hello @User.Identity.GetUserName() !</span>
```
