Haml: more elegant way to write tag + ruby-expression + string

Question

I've got the following haml-code in one of my templates:

%b= t ('activerecord.attributes.exercise.title') + ':'

Is there a more elegant way to achieve this? Preferrably as oneliner and without the brackets.

Answer 1

The solution I like to use is Haml’s surround, succeed, and precede helpers:

= surround '(', ')' do
  = link_to 'available here', foo_path


= precede '*' do
  = link_to 'source', foo_path


= succeed ':' do
  = link_to 'foo', foo_path
Text following link

Then it’s just typing/pasting a line before the helper and indenting the helper.
