1
+ = Haml (XHTML Abstraction Markup Language)
2
+
3
+ Haml is a markup language
4
+ that's used to cleanly and simply describe the XHTML of any web document,
5
+ without the use of inline code.
6
+ Haml functions as a replacement
7
+ for inline page templating systems such as PHP, RHTML, and ASP.
8
+ However, Haml avoids the need for explicitly coding XHTML into the template,
9
+ because it is actually an abstract description of the XHTML,
10
+ with some code to generate dynamic content.
11
+
12
+ == Features
13
+
14
+ * Whitespace active
15
+ * Well-formatted markup
16
+ * DRY
17
+ * Follows CSS conventions
18
+ * Interpolates Ruby code
19
+ * Implements Rails templates with the .haml extension
20
+
21
+ == Authors
22
+
23
+ Haml was originally created by Hampton Catlin (hcatlin).
24
+ Help with the Ruby On Rails implementation and much of the documentation
25
+ by Jeff Hardy (packagethief).
26
+
27
+ Nathan Weizenbaum (Nex3) contributed the buffered-engine code,
28
+ along with many other enhancements
29
+ (including the silent-line syntax: "-").
30
+
31
+ If you use this software, you must pay Hampton a compliment.
32
+ Say something nice about it.
33
+ Beyond that, the implementation is licensed under the MIT License.
34
+ Ok, fine, I guess that means compliments aren't *required*.
35
+
36
+ == Formatting
37
+
38
+ Haml is sensitive to spacing and indentation;
39
+ it uses nesting to convey structure.
40
+ When you want an element to have children,
41
+ indent the lines below it using two spaces.
42
+ Remember, spaces are not the same as tabs.
43
+ For example:
44
+
45
+ #contact
46
+ %h1 Eugene Mumbai
47
+ %ul.info
48
+ %li.login eugene
49
+ %li.email eugene@example.com
50
+
51
+ is compiled to:
52
+
53
+ <div id='contact'>
54
+ <h1>Eugene Mumbai</h1>
55
+ <ul class='info'>
56
+ <li class='login'>eugene</li>
57
+ <li class='email'>eugene@example.com</li>
58
+ </ul>
59
+ </div>
60
+
61
+ == Characters with meaning to Haml
62
+
63
+ Various characters, when placed at a certain point in a line,
64
+ instruct Haml to render different types of things.
65
+
66
+ === XHTML Tags
67
+
68
+ These characters render XHTML tags.
69
+
70
+ ==== %
71
+
72
+
73
+ This element is placed at the beginning of a line.
74
+ It's followed immediately by the name of an element,
75
+ then optionally by modifiers (see below), a space,
76
+ and text to be rendered inside the element.
77
+ It creates an element in the form of <tt><element></element></tt>.
78
+ For example:
79
+
80
+ %one
81
+ %two
82
+ %three Hey there
83
+
84
+ is compiled to:
85
+
86
+ <one>
87
+ <two>
88
+ <three>Hey there</three>
89
+ </two>
90
+ </one>
91
+
92
+ Any string is a valid element name;
93
+ Haml will automatically generate opening and closing tags for any element.
94
+
95
+ ==== {}
96
+
97
+ Brackets represent a Ruby hash
98
+ that is used for specifying the attributes of an element.
99
+ It is literally evaluated as a Ruby hash,
100
+ so logic will work in it and local variables may be used.
101
+ Quote characters within the attribute
102
+ will be replaced by appropriate escape sequences.
103
+ The hash is placed after the tag is defined.
104
+ For example:
105
+
106
+ %head{ :name => "doc_head" }
107
+ %script{ 'type' => "text/" + "javascript",
108
+ :src => "javascripts/script_#{2 + 7}" }
109
+
110
+ is compiled to:
111
+
112
+ <head name="doc_head">
113
+ <script src='javascripts/script_9' type='text/javascript'>
114
+ </script>
115
+ </head>
116
+
117
+ ==== []
118
+
119
+ Square brackets follow a tag definition and contain a Ruby object
120
+ that is used to set the class and id of that tag.
121
+ The class is set to the object's class
122
+ (transformed to use underlines rather than camel case)
123
+ and the id is set to the object's class, followed by its id.
124
+ Because the id of an object is normally an obscure implementation detail,
125
+ this is most useful for elements that represent instances of Models.
126
+ For example:
127
+
128
+ # file: app/controllers/users_controller.rb
129
+
130
+ def show
131
+ @user = CrazyUser.find(15)
132
+ end
133
+
134
+ # file: app/views/users/show.haml
135
+
136
+ %div[@user]
137
+ %bar[290]/
138
+ Hello!
139
+
140
+ is compiled to:
141
+
142
+ <div class="crazy_user" id="crazy_user_15">
143
+ <bar class="fixnum" id="fixnum_581" />
144
+ Hello!
145
+ </div>
146
+
147
+ This is based off of DHH's SimplyHelpful syntax,
148
+ as presented at RailsConf Europe 2006.
149
+
150
+ ==== /
151
+
152
+ The forward slash character, when placed at the end of a tag definition,
153
+ causes the tag to be self-closed.
154
+ For example:
155
+
156
+ %br/
157
+ %meta{:http-equiv => 'Content-Type', :content => 'text/html'}/
158
+
159
+ is compiled to:
160
+
161
+ <br />
162
+ <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html' />
163
+
164
+ ==== . and #
165
+
166
+ The period and pound sign are borrowed from CSS.
167
+ They are used as shortcuts to specify the <tt>class</tt>
168
+ and <tt>id</tt> attributes of an element, respectively.
169
+ Multiple class names can be specified in a similar way to CSS,
170
+ by chaining the class names together with periods.
171
+ They are placed immediately after the tag and before an attributes hash.
172
+ For example:
173
+
174
+ div#things
175
+ %span#rice Chicken Fried
176
+ %p.beans{ :food => 'true' } The magical fruit
177
+ %h1.class.otherclass#id La La La
178
+
179
+ is compiled to:
180
+
181
+ <div id='things'>
182
+ <span id='rice'>Chicken Fried</span>
183
+ <p class='beans' food='true'>The magical fruit</p>
184
+ <h1 class='class' id='id'>La La La</h1>
185
+ </div>
186
+
187
+ And,
188
+
189
+ #content
190
+ .articles
191
+ .article.title
192
+ Doogie Howser Comes Out
193
+ .article.date
194
+ 2006-11-05
195
+ .article.entry
196
+ Neil Patrick Harris would like to dispel any rumors that he is straight
197
+
198
+ is compiled to:
199
+
200
+ <div id="content">
201
+ <div class="articles">
202
+ <div class="article title">Doogie Howser Comes Out</div>
203
+ <div class="article date">2006-11-05</div>
204
+ <div class="article entry">
205
+ Neil Patrick Harris would like to dispel any rumors that he is straight
206
+ </div>
207
+ </div>
208
+ </div>
209
+
210
+ ==== Implicit Div Elements
211
+
212
+ Because the div element is used so often, it is the default element.
213
+ If you only define a class and/or id using the <tt>.</tt> or <tt>#</tt> syntax,
214
+ a div element is automatically used.
215
+ For example:
216
+
217
+ #collection
218
+ .item
219
+ .description What a cool item!
220
+
221
+ is the same as:
222
+
223
+ %div{:id => collection}
224
+ %div{:class => 'item'}
225
+ %div{:class => 'description'} What a cool item!
226
+
227
+ and is compiled to:
228
+
229
+ <div id='collection'>
230
+ <div class='item'>Broken record album</div>
231
+ <div class='description'>What a cool item!</div>
232
+ </div>
233
+
234
+ ==== = and ~
235
+
236
+ <tt>=</tt> and <tt>~</tt> are placed at the end of a tag definition,
237
+ after class, id, and attribute declarations.
238
+ They're just shortcuts for inserting Ruby code into an element.
239
+ They work the same as <tt>=</tt> and <tt>~</tt> without a tag;
240
+ see below for documentation of those.
241
+ However, if the result is short enough,
242
+ it is displayed entirely on one line.
243
+ For example:
244
+
245
+ %p= "hello"
246
+ %h1~ 1 + 2
247
+
248
+ is not quite the same as:
249
+
250
+ %p
251
+ = "hello"
252
+ %h1
253
+ ~ 1 + 2
254
+
255
+ It's compiled to:
256
+
257
+ <p>hello</p>
258
+ <h1>3</h1>
259
+
260
+ === XHTML Helpers
261
+
262
+ ==== No Special Character
263
+
264
+ If no special character appears at the beginning of a line,
265
+ the line is rendered as plain text.
266
+ For example:
267
+
268
+ %gee
269
+ %whiz
270
+ Wow this is cool!
271
+
272
+ is compiled to:
273
+
274
+ <gee>
275
+ <whiz>
276
+ Wow this is cool!
277
+ </whiz>
278
+ </gee>
279
+
280
+ ==== !!!
281
+
282
+ When describing XHTML documents with Haml,
283
+ you can have a document type or XML prolog generated automatically
284
+ by including the characters <tt>!!!</tt>.
285
+ For example:
286
+
287
+ !!! XML
288
+ !!!
289
+ %html
290
+ %head
291
+ %title Myspace
292
+ %body
293
+ %h1 I am the international space station
294
+ %p Sign my guestbook
295
+
296
+ is compiled to:
297
+
298
+ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
299
+ <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
300
+ <html>
301
+ <head>
302
+ <title>Myspace</title>
303
+ </head>
304
+ <body>
305
+ <h1>I am the international space station</h1>
306
+ <p>Sign my guestbook</p>
307
+ </body>
308
+ </html>
309
+
310
+ You can also specify the version and type of XHTML after the <tt>!!!</tt>.
311
+ XHTML 1.0 Strict, Transitional, and Frameset and XHTML 1.1 are supported.
312
+ The default version is 1.0 and the default type is Transitional.
313
+ For example:
314
+
315
+ !!! 1.1
316
+
317
+ is compiled to:
318
+
319
+ <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
320
+
321
+ and
322
+
323
+ !!! Strict
324
+
325
+ is compiled to:
326
+
327
+ <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
328
+
329
+ If you're not using the UTF-8 characterset for your document,
330
+ you can specify which encoding should appear
331
+ in the XML prolog in a similar way.
332
+ For example:
333
+
334
+ !!! XML iso-8859-1
335
+
336
+ is compiled to:
337
+
338
+ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
339
+
340
+ ==== /
341
+
342
+ The forward slash character, when placed at the beginning of a line,
343
+ wraps all text after it in an HTML comment.
344
+ For example:
345
+
346
+ %billabong
347
+ / This is the billabong element
348
+ I like billabongs!
349
+
350
+ is compiled to:
351
+
352
+ <billabong>
353
+ <!-- This is the billabong element -->
354
+ I like billabongs!
355
+ </billabong>
356
+
357
+ The forward slash can also wrap indented sections of code. For example:
358
+
359
+ /
360
+ %p This doesn't render...
361
+ %div
362
+ %h1 Because it's commented out!
363
+
364
+ is compiled to:
365
+
366
+ <!--
367
+ <p>This doesn't render...</p>
368
+ <div>
369
+ <h1>Because it's commented out!</h1>
370
+ </div>
371
+ -->
372
+
373
+ You can also use Internet Explorer conditional comments
374
+ (about)[http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html]
375
+ by enclosing the condition in square brackets after the <tt>/</tt>.
376
+ For example:
377
+
378
+ /[if IE]
379
+ %a{ :href => 'http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/' }
380
+ %h1 Get Firefox
381
+
382
+ is compiled to:
383
+
384
+ <!--[if IE]>
385
+ <a href='http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/'>
386
+ <h1>Get Firefox</h1>
387
+ </a>
388
+ <![endif]-->
389
+
390
+ ==== \
391
+
392
+ The backslash character escapes the first character of a line,
393
+ allowing use of otherwise interpreted characters as plain text.
394
+ For example:
395
+
396
+ %title
397
+ = @title
398
+ \- MySite
399
+
400
+ is compiled to:
401
+
402
+ <title>
403
+ MyPage
404
+ - MySite
405
+ </title>
406
+
407
+ ==== |
408
+
409
+ The pipe character designates a multiline string.
410
+ It's placed at the end of a line
411
+ and means that all following lines that end with <tt>|</tt>
412
+ will be evaluated as though they were on the same line.
413
+ For example:
414
+
415
+ %whoo
416
+ %hoo I think this might get |
417
+ pretty long so I should |
418
+ probably make it |
419
+ multiline so it doesn't |
420
+ look awful. |
421
+ %p This is short.
422
+
423
+ is compiled to:
424
+
425
+ %hoo I think this might get |
426
+ pretty long so I should |
427
+ probably make it |
428
+ multiline so it doesn't |
429
+ look awful. |
430
+
431
+ === Ruby evaluators
432
+
433
+ ==== =
434
+
435
+ The equals character is followed by Ruby code,
436
+ which is evaluated and the output inserted into the document as plain text.
437
+ For example:
438
+
439
+ %p
440
+ = ['hi', 'there', 'reader!'].join " "
441
+ = "yo"
442
+
443
+ is compiled to:
444
+
445
+ <p>
446
+ hi there reader!
447
+ yo
448
+ </p>
449
+
450
+ ==== ~
451
+
452
+ The tilde character works the same as the equals character,
453
+ but the output is modified in such a way
454
+ that newlines in whitespace-sensitive elements work properly.
455
+ For example:
456
+
457
+ %foo
458
+ = "Woah <pre> this is \n</pre> crazy"
459
+ %foo2
460
+ ~ "Woah <pre> this is \n</pre> crazy"
461
+
462
+ is compiled to:
463
+
464
+ <foo>
465
+ Woah <pre> this is
466
+ </pre> crazy
467
+ </foo>
468
+ <foo2>
469
+ Woah <pre> this is &#x000A;</pre> crazy
470
+ </foo2>
471
+
472
+ If the ~ character isn't followed by text,
473
+ it doesn't evaluate Ruby at all.
474
+ Instead, an indented section following it will be rendered
475
+ in a whitespace-sensitive manner,
476
+ using HTML encodings for newlines.
477
+ For example:
478
+
479
+ For example:
480
+
481
+ .house
482
+ %pre
483
+ ~
484
+ /^^^\
485
+ |[] []|
486
+ |_____|
487
+
488
+ is compiled to:
489
+
490
+ <div class="house">
491
+ <pre>
492
+ &#x000A; /^^^\&#x000A;|[] []|&#x000A;|_____|&#x000A;
493
+ </pre>
494
+ </div>
495
+
496
+ ==== -
497
+
498
+ The hyphen character makes the text following it into "silent script":
499
+ Ruby script that is evaluated, but not output.
500
+
501
+ <b>It is not recommended that you use this widely;
502
+ almost all processing code and logic should be restricted
503
+ to the Controller, the Helper, or partials.</b>
504
+
505
+ For example:
506
+
507
+ - foo = "hello"
508
+ - foo << " there"
509
+ - foo << " you!"
510
+ %p= foo
511
+
512
+ is compiled to:
513
+
514
+ <p>
515
+ hello there you!
516
+ </p>
517
+
518
+ ===== Blocks
519
+
520
+ Ruby blocks, like XHTML tags, don't need to be explicitly closed in Haml.
521
+ Rather, they're automatically closed, based on indentation.
522
+ A block begins whenever the indentation is increased
523
+ after a silent script command.
524
+ It ends when the indentation decreases
525
+ (as long as it's not an +else+ clause or something similar).
526
+ For example:
527
+
528
+ - (42...47).each do |i|
529
+ %p= i
530
+ %p See, I can count!
531
+
532
+ is compiled to:
533
+
534
+ <p>
535
+ 42
536
+ </p>
537
+ <p>
538
+ 43
539
+ </p>
540
+ <p>
541
+ 44
542
+ </p>
543
+ <p>
544
+ 45
545
+ </p>
546
+ <p>
547
+ 46
548
+ </p>
549
+
550
+ Another example:
551
+
552
+ %p
553
+ - case 2
554
+ - when 1
555
+ = "1!"
556
+ - when 2
557
+ = "2?"
558
+ - when 3
559
+ = "3."
560
+
561
+ is compiled to:
562
+
563
+ <p>
564
+ 2?
565
+ </p>
566
+
567
+ == Using Haml as a Rails plugin
568
+
569
+ Write Rails templates with the .haml extension.
570
+ For example:
571
+
572
+ # file: app/views/movies/teen_wolf.haml
573
+
574
+ %html
575
+ %head
576
+ %title= "Teen Wolf (1985)"
577
+ %body
578
+ #contents
579
+ %h1 "A highschooler discovers that he is a werewolf"
580
+ %ul.cast
581
+ %li "Scott Howard"
582
+ %li "Rupert 'Stiles' Stilinski"
583
+ %li "Lisa 'Boof' Marconi"
584
+ %li "Lewis"
585
+
586
+ is compiled to:
587
+
588
+ <html>
589
+ <head>
590
+ <title>Teen Wolf (1985)</title>
591
+ </head>
592
+ <body>
593
+ <div id='contents'>
594
+ <h1>A highschooler discovers that he is a werewolf</h1>
595
+ <ul class='cast'>
596
+ <li>Scott Howard</li>
597
+ <li>Rupert 'Stiles' Stilinski</li>
598
+ <li>Lisa 'Boof' Marconi</li>
599
+ <li>Lewis</li>
600
+ </ul>
601
+ </div>
602
+ </body>
603
+ </html>
604
+
605
+ You can access instance variables in Haml templates
606
+ the same way you do in ERb templates.
607
+ Helper methods are also available in Haml templates.
608
+ For example:
609
+
610
+ # file: app/controllers/movies_controller.rb
611
+
612
+ class MoviesController < ApplicationController
613
+ def index
614
+ @title = "Teen Wolf"
615
+ end
616
+ end
617
+
618
+ # file: app/views/movies/index.haml
619
+
620
+ #content
621
+ .title
622
+ %h1= @title
623
+ = link_to 'Home', home_url
624
+
625
+ may be compiled to:
626
+
627
+ <div id='content'>
628
+ <div class='title'>
629
+ <h1>Teen Wolf</h1>
630
+ <a href='/'>Home</a>
631
+ </div>
632
+ </div>
633
+
634
+ === Setting Options
635
+
636
+ Options can be set by setting the hash <tt>Haml::Template.options</tt>
637
+ from <tt>environment.rb</tt>.
638
+ Available options are:
639
+
640
+ [<tt>:suppress_eval</tt>] Whether or not attribute hashes and Ruby scripts
641
+ designated by <tt>=</tt> or <tt>~</tt> should be
642
+ evaluated. If this is true, said scripts are
643
+ rendered as empty strings. Defaults to false.
644
+
645
+ [<tt>:precompiled</tt>] A string containing a precompiled Haml template.
646
+ If this is passed, <tt>template</tt> is ignored
647
+ and no precompilation is done.
648
+
649
+ [<tt>:attr_wrapper</tt>] The character that should wrap element attributes.
650
+ This defaults to <tt>'</tt> (an apostrophe). Characters
651
+ of this type within the attributes will be escaped
652
+ (e.g. by replacing them with <tt>&apos;</tt>) if
653
+ the character is an apostrophe or a quotation mark.
654
+
655
+ [<tt>:locals</tt>] The local variables that will be available within the
656
+ template. For instance, if <tt>:locals</tt> is
657
+ <tt>{ :foo => "bar" }</tt>, then within the template,
658
+ <tt>= foo</tt> will produce <tt>bar</tt>.
