It's actually important in some cases that "-#" is treated as an actual line of Haml, rather than just removed: it allows multiple consecutive multiline blocks. In any case, I feel that, stylistically speaking, it's important to keep with the structure of the document, even when commenting.
This also goes for - if -# comment - else If you don't nest code within the "if", Haml has no idea that you want it to add an "end" afterwards. Haml doesn't attempt to parse Ruby except the minimal amount that's necessary to know that it shouldn't add an "end" before "else and friends. Thus, unless you nest code within "if", Haml doesn't know it's any different than (say) "- foo = 12". So, in short, just keep your indentation sane ;-). - Nathan neem wrote: > Thank you for the explanation! > > In my opinion, to improve the haml comments should be possible at any > place, anyway they are removed. > When interpretator sees -#, it should remove the line.
