How do I remove white space between link and period in hamlc

Question

Here is my hamlc code:

%a{href: 'http://www.google.com'} hello
\.

This results in the following output:

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">hello</a>
.

The line break results in a space between the link and the period.

How can I avoid this?

Answer 1

Haml has a whitespace-removal character >. Place it right after your tag to remove surrounding whitespace:

%a{href: 'http://www.google.com'}> hello
\.

Output:

<a href='http://www.google.com'>hello</a>.
