Add HTML inside a menu item text?

[Rubytastic2]

Would it be possible to add html inside a

item?
I would like to add an font awesome icon before the menu item text.

<div class="fa.fa.bla">my custom menu item text here</div>

      tab.item :educations, "Educations",  employee_profile_educations_path,  :highlights_on => /\beducations/

Could not find anything in the wiki on how to do this?
Could someone please elaborate on this? thank you!

You could either add the needed html using javascript or you could use name_generator in your navigation config, here is a snippet of one of my projects:

navigation.name_generator = Proc.new do |name, item| 
    if item.key == :'current-lang'
      "<i class='fa fa-caret-down'></i> #{name}".html_safe
    elsif item.key == :'lang-label'
      "<label>#{name}</label>".html_safe
    else
      name
    end
end
