How to put several attributes of a record with one Haml line

Question

In erb we can have

<%= @user.name %>, <%= @user.email %>

to put name and email in one line both on the resulting page and in the code.

What is the best way to do the same with Haml?

=@user.name << ', ' << @user.email

and

="#{@user.name}, #{@user.email}"

both work, but lack the Haml beauty. What would you recommend?

You can do straight interpolation:

%p #{@user.name}, #{@user.email}

Thanks! And if I don't want a paragraph's style, the shortest way is %div #{@user.name}, #{@user.email}? – Сергей Конаков Oct 10 '14 at 20:51
Yes, it doesn't matter what tag it is in. It just will interpolate. – Alex Peachey Oct 10 '14 at 21:06

`%p= [@user.name, @user.email].join(', ')` would work too and scales out nicely. – the Tin Man Oct 10 '14 at 21:37
I'd argue that you probably need to use helpers if you need to scale that pattern. – Chris Heald Oct 10 '14 at 23:37
