Haml without Rails - unescape string

Question

I'm using Haml outside of Rails and need to print out an unescaped string:

%div{ foo: '<?php echo "bar" %>' }

becomes

<div foo='&lt;?php echo "bar" %&gt;'></div>

but I want

<div foo='<?php echo "bar" %>'></div>

raw and html_safe are not defined outside of Rails, I tried requiring them and mixing them in, but the end result was the same. Maybe I'm missing something obvious here...

Answer 1

You need to set the escape_attrs option to false.

From the command line you can use something like

$ haml --no-escape-attrs my_file.haml

or from Ruby something like:

Haml::Engine.new(my_template, :escape_attrs => false).to_html

Answer 2

Well to my understanding there is no easy way to do this. Reference: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/haml/RScABe1Txh8

Seems you will have to do something hackish.

I can only think of writing that specific part in HTML and putting it in :plain block.
