In my Rails template, I'd like to accomplish final HTML to this effect using HAML:
I will first <a href="http://example.com">link somewhere</a>, then render this half of the sentence if a condition is met
The template that comes close:
I will first
= link_to 'link somewhere', 'http://example.com'
- if @condition
, then render this half of the sentence if a condition is met
You may, however, note that this produces a space between the link and the comma. Is there any practical way to avoid this whitespace? I know there's syntax to remove whitespace around tags, but can this same syntax be applied to just text? I really don't like the solution of extra markup to accomplish this.
