undocumented syntax?

[rogwei]

I came across this in api.rubyonrails.org and am wondering if it is a typo or an undocumented feature. Can someone explain?

<% form_tag '/posts' do -%>     <div><%= submit_tag 'Save' %></div>   <% end -%>

In particular, I refer to the closing Ruby delimiter '-%>' syntax that is repeated twice in this example.

Pardon me if this is obvious. I am still new to Ruby.
