Hi,

I wanted to covert all my erb over to haml, but I use HTML5 tags like nav, section, article, etc. Any idea if this is supported by haml? Checked out their site, nothing mentioned there or did I miss something. Sorry noob here.

HAML doesn't care (at least I don't think so)...

%div or %nav or %section... they are all just tags...

Now, whether HAML has special support similar to how "#foo" gets turned into a div with an id of 'foo' I don't know...

Thanks Philip!

Yea, I meant to ask that specifically, sorry does it support #foo to be converted to a section tag with id foo or something?

Hey, I made a little test for you:

Modified .html.haml :       %td#whatif.itworks.fine hm?

Gives this (Right click / Viev source ;P)

<td class='itworks fine' id='whatif'>hm?</td>

But it's a good question, I'll check HAML soon too :wink:
