Restful routing link_to format

Hi,

I can't seem to find how to define the format in my links. My link looks like this now:

<%= link_to 'Show', resource_path(@resource) %>

But how do I specify the format? Do I realy need to create the url myself?

Thank you in advance.

resource_path(@resource, :format => :xml)

Ok, I thought is was this way. But how can I get the url format like

xxx.xml and not like

xxx?format=xml ?

I have

  map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'

specified in my routes.rb

Thank you for the quick reply btw

if you do rake routes you should see there are a bunch of additional routes like

formatted_resource_path

you can use those to specify a path to an xml, rss etc file e.g.

link_to('Show XML', formatted_resource_path(@resource, :format => :xml))

Think that should work...
