There is a way to do this, but it's nasty. It's nasty on purpose: Haml
thinks you shouldn't have multiline Ruby calls in your templates. It
tries to discourage you from doing it. What it's trying to say is, that
sort of thing works a lot better in a helper. I mean, compare your code
to this:
= delete_item(item)
Or, heck, with a little abstraction and introspection, it could become
general-purpose:
= delete_link(item)
But if you really, /really/ want to put it all in the template, you've
got to put a pipe at the end of each line. Like so:
= link_to(icon_tag('delete'), item_path(item), |
:confirm => 'Are you sure you want to delete this item?', |
:method => :delete, |
:class => 'icon') |
You don't actually have to line them up, but it looks nicer that way.
