h1. What is it?

You can find out more about HAML at "haml.info":http://haml.info/ You can find out more about GO at "golang.org":http://golang.org

I've tried to remain diligent about reproducing the output from the canonical Ruby-based parser, so if you feel familiar with the one, then you should feel familiar with the other.

This branch compiles with 6g/8g "go version go1.0.3."

h1. Is it done?

I think so. It has...

• Tags with empty content; attributes of the form @{:attr => "value"}@; id moniker using "#" (@#divId@); and, class moniker using "." (@.divClass@).
• Tag nesting
• Scope lookup Arbitrary number of keys as specified by struct (@someKeyInScope.Subkey1.Subkey2@) Valid as tag content (@%p= someKeyInScope@) Valid as tag attribute value (@%p{:attr => someKeyInScope}@) Valid as tag attribute name (@%p{someKeyInScope => "value"}@)
• Engine-level autoclose option (@<br />@ vs. @<br>@)
• Tag-specific close option (@%br/@ becomes @<br />@ regardless of autoclose setting)
• Whitespace removal with the @<@ operator
• Simple scripting Declaration and assignment of strings, floats, and ints (- varname := "value") Range looping construct (- for i, v := range scopeVar)
• Error messages for badly-formed templates

If you would like another feature added, just log an issue and I'll review it forthright.

h1. How can I install this?

To install the library for use in your project, you can use goinstall.

pre. go get "github.com/realistschuckle/gohaml"

h1. How can I install this from source?

In a "Go workspace":http://golang.org/doc/code.html#tmp_2, create a directory for @gohaml@. mkdir -p src/github.com/realistschuckle/gohaml Clone the @gohaml@ repository into that newly created directory. git clone git://github.com/realistschuckle/gohaml.git src/github.com/realistschuckle/gohaml Now build and install it. go install github.com/realistschuckle/gohaml

h1. How can I use it?

How about something like this? Save it, compile it, link it, and run it!

bc.. package main

import ( "github.com/realistschuckle/gohaml" "fmt" )

func main() { var scope = make(map[string]interface{}) scope["lang"] = "HAML" content := "I love <\n=lang<\n!" engine, _ := gohaml.NewEngine(content) output := engine.Render(scope) fmt.Println(output) // Prints "I love HAML!" }
