+=== How do I make my long lines of Ruby code look nicer in my Haml document?
0
+
0
+Put them in a helper or your model.

+
0
+Haml purposefully makes it annoying to put lots of Ruby code into your templates,
0
+because lots of code doesn't belong in the view.
0
+If you take that huge +link_to_remote+ call
0
+and move it to a +update_sidebar_link+ helper,
0
+it'll make your view both easier to read and more semantic.

+If you absolutely must put lots of code in your template,
0
+Haml offers a somewhat awkward multiline-continuation tool.
0
+Put a <tt>|</tt> (pipe character) at the end of each line you want to be merged into one
0
+(including the last line!).
0
+For example:
0
+
0
+  %p= @this.is(way.too.much). |
0
+      code("and I should").   |
0
+      really_move.it.into(    |
0
+        :a => @helper)        |

 There are several reasons these things might be happening.
