Ruby on Rails

I'm trying to implement clipboard.js It works if i put a simple text string inside the <pre class="prettyprint" id='script-tag'>...</pre> containers but if I put the html shown below it copies only newline and whitespace characters to the clipboard

<pre class="prettyprint" id='script-tag'>

<a href=https://ignatzmouse.com/<%= current_user.name %>/page>

</a>

</pre>
