That reference page is massively out-of-date. I'm surprised it still
exists (it doesn't anymore). The up-to-date reference is at
http://haml.hamptoncatlin.com/docs/haml.
Anyway, that behavior of ~ was removed because it was obsoleted by
filter functionality. What you want is
!!! Strict
%html
%head
%title= "[EMAIL PROTECTED] - My Site"
:preserve
<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
This'll make for some pretty messy-looking source, though. I encourage
you to make the transition to Haml.
