Using liquid with haml

Question

Hi All,

I'm planning to develop a CMS with ruby/rails. One of the main key features that I'm planning is to give the user to edit their layout (I'm planning to do this through liquid)

meanwhile i have red some good articles on HAML and SaaS. So just wondering whether i can use haml + liquid + sass for my work

If possible i would thankful if you could point me some resources

thanks in advance

cheers,

Answer 1

I don't think that HAML and Liquid are really compatible. Plus, as HAML has significant whitespace, i don't see it as a good idea to introduce it as the markup for CMS content editing (assuming we are dealing with an average webmaster or a regular user with a WYSIWYG editor here).

Answer 2

I've seen haml and liquid working at least once on this jekyll fork:

So what you are proposing is certainly possible. I don't know whether it will be "easy", though.
