HAML Parser in pure Go
All of the existing Go implementations of HAML have gone by the wayside. This makes sense given that HAML started in Ruby and there are many other templating and markup languages that have popped up since. HAML still works well for me and my purposes and it looks like I'll need to step up and build a parser for myself.
- Support parsing HAML formatted documents
- Adapt HAML to use the Go template language
- Generate well-formed HTML5 documents
- Provide a simple CLI tool for working with HAML files and templates
- A+ Rating on Report Card
This library is not intended to be 100% compatible with Ruby implementations of HAML. The following features are planned for support:
- Tags
-
#id-of-tag -
%name-of-element -
.class.lists -
{attributes: "one", two:"three"}(Ruby 1.9) - Auto-closing (e.g. br, hr, img)
-
- Text
- Multiline strings
- nbsp if missing whitespace
- no preservation of leading whitespace
- Multiline strings
Because the Go templating language is very capable and this library will ultimately rely on html/template, many features are either not needed or complicate parsing. The following features are intentionally omitted:
- Embedded Ruby code
- Ruby hash-style attribute lists
- HTML-style attribute lists
- Prefixed attributes
- Filters
- Helper methods
- HAML Comments
- HTML Comments
- Doctypes
- Explicit multi-line strings
- Whitespace preservation
- Interpolated strings
WORK IN PROGRESS
