💖 haml(1) — bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk: this is the manual page for haml, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section of your man pages (that's the (1) bestie, that's literally what it means ✨).

🌸 NAME 🌸

haml — translates Haml markup into its HTML equivalent 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

haml [options] [INPUT] [OUTPUT]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It uses the Haml engine to parse the template you picked, and then it outputs the result to the file you told it to. That's the whole vibe. Parse, translate, drop the HTML where you asked. Periodt. 💖

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --rails RAILS_DIR — Installs Haml and Sass into a Rails project. You hand it the RAILS_DIR and it does the deed 🫶
  • -c, --check — Just checks the syntax, bestie. It does not evaluate anything. It's giving "vibe check only, no commitment" ✨
  • -s, --stdin — Reads the input from standard input instead of from an input file 📥
  • --trace — Shows a full traceback when there's an error. Every single stack frame, no hiding, we see it all 😭
  • -t, --style NAME — Sets the output style. It can be indented (that's the default, the pretty one 🌸) or ugly.
  • -f, --format NAME — Sets the output format. It can be xhtml (the default, iconic), html4, or html5.
  • -e, --escape-html — Escapes HTML characters (think ampersands and angle brackets) by default. Safety first, we do not rawdog our markup 💀
  • -q, --double-quote-attributes — Sets the attribute wrapper to double-quotes. Heads up: the default is single quotes.
  • -r, --require FILE — Same as ruby -r.
  • -I, --load-path PATH — Same as ruby -I.
  • --debug — Prints out the precompiled Ruby source. Peek behind the curtain, main character energy 🔥
  • -?, -h, --help — Shows a usage summary. Helpful queen behavior 👑
  • -v, --version — Prints the version. 🎀
