In version 1.5, there's no really god way to do this. You could use 
Haml::Engine to render it using string insertion, like so:

   def ariekeren_attribute(str)
     Haml::Engine.new("%span#ariekeren_attribute #{str}").render
   end

You could also just do the plain HTML, as in your example; there's 
nothing wrong with that, although it's not quite as elegant as Haml.

In the Haml trunk, however, there's a helper method, called "open", that 
allows you to create HTML elements in a more elegant way. The syntax is 
as such:

   def ariekeren_attribute(str)
     open :span, str, :id => 'ariekeren_attribute'
   end

You can also use open for more complicated nested tags, using blocks. 
Although this isn't actually Haml, it's designed to be similar, and 
allows you to define more complicated HTML structures in your helpers. 
For example:

   def ariekeren_attribute(str)
     open :p, :id => 'ariekeren_attribute' do
        [:span, :em, :strong].each do |tag|
          open tag, str
        end
     end
   end

I hope that's helpful. If you have any ideas about what might be an 
easier way to use Haml, or something like it, in Helpers, please let us 
know.
