inline tag in haml

Question

In html, you can do something like this

  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent eget 
  aliquet odio. Fusce id quam eu augu         


        

Answer 1

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)
#  "#{text}".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.
