haml

My end goal is to create several static HTML files for hand-off to other folks. But for my workflow, I'd like to have HAML as the basic source files. In doing so, I'd hope to DRY up the process at least on my side. Now I have a lot of pages that will ultimately be sharing a common layout, and I'm wondering how to incorporate the layouts. Here's my current code: ./compile.rb #!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'rubygems' require 'rake' require 'haml' FileList.new('./src/*.html.haml').each do |filename| if filename =~ /([^\/]+)\.haml$/ File.open($1, 'w') do |f| f.write Haml::Engine.new(File.read

I have a Rails controller in which I am setting a instance variable - @user_name = "Some Username" In my .slim template I am using coffee engine to generate javascript and want to print out the user name from client-sie javascript code - coffee: $(document).ready -> name = "#{@user_name}" alert name But this is the javascript that is being generated?? $(document).ready(function() { var name; name = "" + this.my_name; alert(name); } How do I access controller instance variables in my CoffeeScript code??

Haml-specific, but still not simple: %div{:class => "post" + (" gray" unless post.published?).to_s} / Post stuff .post{:class => ("gray" unless post.published?)} - classes = ["post", ("gray" unless post.published?)] =

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
