OK, that certainly did the trick, although it seems to go against what
my conception of ~ should to (ie anything output should have no
indentation fiddling _whatsoever_)... but I've got another doozy:
!!! Strict
%html
%head
%title= "[EMAIL PROTECTED] - My Site"
~
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/blueprint/screen.css"
type="text/css" media="screen, projection"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/blueprint/print.css"
type="text/css" media="print"/>
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blueprint/lib/ie.css"
type="text/css" media="screen, projection"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/homepage_ie.css" type="text/
css" media="screen, projection"/>
<![endif]-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/homepage.css" type="text/css"
media="screen, projection"/>
%body
According to this page:
http://haml.hamptoncatlin.com/reference
"If the ~ character isn't followed by text, it doesn't evaluate Ruby
at all. Instead, an indented section following it will be rendered in
a whitespace-sensitive manner, using HTML encodings for newlines"
I want to just cut and paste the information from another site (yes I
could go through and translate to haml, but i want to do it this
way... but i get an error "Tag has no content" on the latest Haml gem.
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
