I wondered if anyone could help me with turning the following in ERB into HAML. I'm VERY new with HAML:

Do you mean ERb and Haml?
I'm VERY new with HAML:
Run it through html2haml and see what you get. Note, however, that it will usually produce
%span = content
where you generally want
%span= content
Other than that, it's great to help you get started.

I have tried it a few different ways to convert this to HAML, but I'm messing it up on this secion (which is the meat of the document):
---- <ul> <% @orders.each do |order| %>
<li><span class="pull-2 box"><%= "#{leading_zeros order.id}" %></span> <%= link_to "#{order.name}", order, :remote => true %></li> <span class="rightside"><%= link_to 'Delete', order, :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %></span>
<li class="time_space"><span class="quiet small time"><%= distance_of_time_in_words_to_now(order.created_at, :include_seconds => true) %> ago</span></li>
<% end %> </ul> ----
I have it in HAML as:
----
%ul= @orders.each do |order| %li %span.pull-2.box= "#{leading_zeros order.id}" = link_to "#{order.name}", order, :remote => true %span.rightside= link_to 'Delete', order, :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %li.time_space %span.quiet.small.time= {distance_of_time_in_words_to_now(order.created_at, :include_seconds => true)} ago = end
That's not even close to right. You need to learn about the use of - instead of = in Haml. Reread the language reference.

I'm not sure how to correct this. Any help on formatting the ruby code would be greatly appreciated. That's where it seems to fail on me. I have multiple spans on the same line in ERB. Should I do each span on its own line?
Yes. Haml has no notion of multiple elements on one line. If white space is an issue, you can use Haml's < and > modifiers -- or include bits of HTML or ERb if you really need to (it is *occasionally* necessary to do so).
Best,

PERFECT! Thanks Marnen!
