So I should have probably been more clear. The last time I coded html was in 1996. I do not remember it, certainly not well enough to make forms or the like.
Given my total lack of knowledge, how would I go about doing those pretty straightforward tasks in haml? I've found tutorials for things with %p and the like, but I'm needing something a bit more in-depth. Thanks!
