Hi everybody, I found about HAML recently and think the concept is pure genius!
Since I work mostly in Django, I decided to create a markup that is similar to HAML. I use it as a preprocessor for Django templates. You can read more here: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/7a8fbac4572d5c25# I have an idea that I think might resonate with the HAML community. First, let me say that HAML does a great job of providing indentation- based syntax, and that is 80% of the pain when dealing with non-HAML solutions. I have made no innovations there; instead, I have just ported the concept to Django use cases. Where I differ from HAML is in HTML one-liners. HAML puts the markup on the left: %strong{:class => "code", :id => "message"} Hello, World! Showell Markup puts the markup on the right: Hello, World! | strong class="code" id="message The idea is that Content is King! Markup is just an afterthought. And you can also chain markup as follows Hello, World | strong | span class="greeting" Start with the content, and then apply markup from left to right, with each new element surrounding the previous. You get this result: <span class="greeting"><strong>Hello, World</strong></span> I hope this makes sense. Good luck bringing HAML to the masses! It is important stuff. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Haml" group. To post to this group, send email to h...@googlegroups.com.
