It's just like html. In html you'd write
<form> <label>Username</label> <input name=“username” type=“text" /> <label>Password</label> <input name=“password” type=“password /> </form> In haml you'd write %form %label Username %input(name: "username", type: "text") %label Password %input(name: "password", type: "password") The translation is straight-forward and mechanistic. The advantages of using haml is that in those attributes spots, you can use real ruby hashes, etc... Hope this helps!
