Haml does indeed make it *easier*. Not to totally pass the buck (since, as the lead developer, I should have checked the work done), but our new designer who is just learning XHTML would do things like <div>'s inside of <ul>'s, non-atomic input tags, and a repeating partial with a <span><p></p></span>...
It is entirely possible to mis-apply XHTML with Haml, which has been proven in this thread. ;) -hampton. On 3/24/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > That's cool.
