I'm new to HAML and a big fan of it so far. Converted my rails app to HAML in about 2 hours and am really happy with the look of it. However, I searched the group to find any discussion on what the reasoning for using the % symbol for defining elements. I don't mind it, but it seems to be that there's a much cleaner and obvious way to formatting HAML.
Using the wikipedia example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haml Why not format it as the following? !!! html{ :xmlns => "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";, :lang => "en", 'xml:lang' => "en" } head title BoBlog meta{ 'http-equiv' => 'Content-Type', :content => 'text/html; charset=utf-8' }/ = stylesheet_link_tag 'main' body #header h1 BoBlog h2 Bob's Blog #content - @entries.each do |entry| .entry h3.title= entry.title p.date= entry.posted.strftime("%A, %B %d, %Y") p.body= entry.body #footer p All content copyright (c) Bob Is that harder to parse? Is it more of an implementation or a style issue? I know this has probably been discussed before, but I'm just curious. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Haml" group.
