inline tag in haml

Viewed 23919

In html, you can do something like this

<p>
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent eget 
  aliquet odio. Fusce id quam eu augue sollicitudin imperdiet eu ac eros. 
  <em>Etiam nec nisi lorem</em>, ac venenatis ipsum. In sollicitudin, 
  lectus eget varius tincidunt, felis sapien porta eros, non 
  pellentesque dui quam vitae tellus. 
</p>

It is nice, because the paragraph of text still looks like a paragraph in the markup. In haml, it looks like this

%p
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent eget 
    aliquet odio. Fusce id quam eu augue sollicitudin imperdiet eu ac eros. 
    %em Etiam nec nisi lorem
    , ac venenatis ipsum. In sollicitudin, 
    lectus eget varius tincidunt, felis sapien porta eros, non 
    pellentesque dui quam vitae tellus. 

Is there any way to totally inline a tag in haml?

You can inline HTML in any HAML doing

%p!= "Lorem ipsum <em>dolor</em> sit amet"

The != operator means that whatever the right side returns it will be outputted.

As a hybrid of these nice answers by others, I think you can define a Helper method in your application_helper.rb for some inline markups you'd frequently use. You don't need to mix HTML with HAML, nor do you have to type much.

In your helper;

def em(text)
  content_tag(:em, text)
end

#def em(text)
#  "<em>#{text}</em>".html_safe
#end

In your haml;

%p
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent eget 
    aliquet odio. Fusce id quam eu augue sollicitudin imperdiet eu ac eros. 
    #{em 'Etiam nec nisi lorem'}, ac venenatis ipsum. In sollicitudin, 
    lectus eget varius tincidunt, felis sapien porta eros, non 
    pellentesque dui quam vitae tellus.
