Real example

We have an article controller.

1. Add this route, to allow additional parameter *fancy
   
    map.article 'article/:id/*fancy', :controller => 'article', :action => 'show'

2. Then use link_to helper like this:

    # Controller
    @article = Article.find(params[:id])

    # View
    <%= link_to @article.title, article_path(@article, @article.title.fancy)

    # output
    <a href="/article/1/my-first-article">My first article</a>
