For the first problem, I'd recommend using preserve along with the Rails
"text_area_tag" helper, like so:
= preserve text_area_tag('blablabla', 'The very very long line ...')
For the second example, the best solution would be to manually add in
the strong tag, perhaps along with a link_to helper, like so:
= succeed ',' do
%a{:href => 'http://somewhere'} <strong>Somewhere</strong>
or
= link_to('<strong>Somewhere</strong>', 'http://somewhere')
Tags that can't have inner whitespace is definitely a problem with Haml
as-is. There'll be a way to force it not to add whitespace in version
2.0, but as of yet it's unavailable.
