Random Haml tips
1. Multiline code block with |
= link_to "Back", root_path, |
:class => "back", :accesskey => "b", |
:title => "Go back (ctrl-b)" |
Although for this example, you’ll be better off creating helper method for it.
2. Two types of comment
Make sure you use the one you need.
/ this will be translated to HTML comment, visible to anyone
-# and this will not, so use this one for dev. notes
3. One-liners
Not very pretty, but they do the job.
== #{label_tag "Email"}:
= label_tag('Email'), ':'
4. Use &= to sanitize any HTML-sensitive characters
Not that anything is wrong with h(), but I like this better.
%p
&= @comment.body
5. Visit Haml reference page

Hey Dejan, do you use Textmate? If so, what HAML/SASS bundle are you using? Mine doesn’t seem to support syntax highlighting for the multiline pipe trick..
Neither does mine (the one hosted at macromates.com).
