How to use the strong tag in haml

Question

Yeah so the title pretty much sums it up. How do you do it!?

I write my text as:

 lorem ipsum %strong Banana republic bla bla bla

wanting to bold the 'Banana republic' part. But the %strong just gets printed out on the screen like it's part of the body text...

I'm not sure if I'm up to date, but what I know: http://chriseppstein.github.io/blog/2010/02/08/haml-sucks-for-content/ — Robin, Jan 15 '14 at 10:09

HAML utilize indents and line breaks, while reading your code. So you would have to do something like:

%p
  lorem ipsum 
  %strong
    Banana republic
  bla bla bla

This question is similar: inline tag in haml

Here an example:

%p
  :markdown
    lorem ipsum *Banana republic* bla bla bla

By default the html filter is applied, so the following would work too:

%p
  lorem ipsum <strong>Banana republic</strong> bla bla bla

Haml is not convenient in such cases. Something like this should work:

lorem ipsum
%strong Banana republic 
bla bla bla

If all that you need is a rich text formatting - consider using :markdown or :textile haml filters.
