Question

I'm trying to hook up a blog with some xml namespaces and xml stylesheets.

The ugly way that I'm doing this currently looks like so:

!!! XML
= partial('xmlstyle')
%channel
......blah.....
= partial('xmlend')

where

_xmlstyle.xml.erb looks like:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" media="screen" href="/~d/styles/rss2full.xsl"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" media="screen" 
href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~d/styles/itemcontent.css"?>
<rss xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" 
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" 
xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" 
xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" 
xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/"
xmlns:feedburner="http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" version="2.0">

_xmlend.xml.erb looks like:

</rss>

Should I just stick with erb for now? There has to be a way of doing this in haml right?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Haml doesn't have syntax for XML stylesheet directives, but there's no reason you can't include them directly. As for the xmlns:blah attributes, you can either use strings as the attribute names, like so:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" media="screen" href="/~d/styles/rss2full.xsl"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" media="screen" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~d/styles/itemcontent.css"?>
%rss{"xmlns:content" => "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/",
     "xmlns:wfw" => "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/",
     "xmlns:dc" => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/",
     "xmlns:atom" => "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom",
     "xmlns:sy" => "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/",
     "xmlns:slash" => "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/",
     "xmlns:feedburner" => "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0",
     :version => "2.0"}
  %channel
    blah

You could also use HTML-style attributes with ():

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" media="screen" href="/~d/styles/rss2full.xsl"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" media="screen" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~d/styles/itemcontent.css"?>
%rss(xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
     xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
     xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
     xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
     xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"
     xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/"
     xmlns:feedburner="http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0"
     version="2.0")
  %channel
    blah
