== Haml

Lets say we have a Haml document called 'test.haml' containing:

  %h1== Example #{title}
  %p This is an example of a Haml template.

We can render Haml documents via the +render+ method, as we can any format.
While it might not appear as such on first glance, Haml is actually a template
format and not just a markup language, so we need to also provide the +render+
function with data for interpolation into the Haml document. 

  data = { :title=>"Document" }

  html = Malt.render(:file=>'tmp/test.haml', :data=>data)

  html.assert.include?('<h1>Example Document</h1>')

We can get a hold of the Haml document via the Malt.file function.

  haml = Malt.file('tmp/test.haml')

  haml.class.assert == Malt::Format::Haml

We can convert Haml documents to html very easily.

  data = {:title => "Document"}

  html = haml.to_html(data)

First we will notice that the output is an instance of Malt::Format::HTML.

  html.class.assert == Malt::Format::HTML

And that by calling #to_s we can get the rendered HTML document.

  html.to_s.assert.include?('<h1>Example Document</h1>')

Or we can convert the Haml document directly to HTML via the #html method.

  out = haml.html(data)

  out.assert.include?('<h1>Example Document</h1>')
