I really don't like the idea of trailing whitespace as a semantically
significant marker. Not only is it invisible, but various editors and
stuff like Google Groups eat it.
Right now, the solution is to use the precede and succeed helpers. For
example:
%div
= succeed '?' do
%a{ :href => '#' } Hmm
Of course, this doesn't encompass all the issues. This is still
something of an unsolved problem; the idea of a helper that does it has
been floated around, though.
