Yaml Front Matter In A Haml File

I am attempting to use the haml-jekyll-extension only I do not understand how to include yaml front matter? I have the following: --- user: hello --- !!! %html %title RudyIndust

Solution 1:

Use a back slash:

haml file:

\---
user: hello
\---
%html
  %title RudyIndustries
  %body
    %h1 Hello World! {{ page.user }}

compiles into the following html:

---
user: hello
---
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
  <title>RudyIndustries</title>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello World! {{ page.user }}</h1>
  </body>
</html>

Solution 2:

You can use Haml comments for front matter. This will let you use nesting in your YAML and it won't reproduce the front matter in your html. The following haml file

-#
  ---
  user: hello
  ---
!!!
%html
  %title RudyIndustries
  %body
    %h1 Hello World! {{ page.user }}

will generate the following HTML

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
  <title>RudyIndustries</title>
  <body>
   <h1>Hello World! {{ page.user }}</h1>
  </body>
</html>
