Thanks. I modded up the parent submission, in part, because I was pretty sure I'd seen several of these syntaxes by now and I wanted to precipitate a shootout in the comment section. ;) More examples, please! Here's some haml, from the haml site. (I don't actually know haml, but perhaps I soon will:) #content .left.column %h2 Welcome to our site! %p= print_information .right.column= render :partial => "sidebar" Grading these competitions is hard, since it depends on taste and you can't always tell from a short example how something will perform in the field. haml may be a bit too terse (though I say that without being convinced that it's true; terse is generally good), and on first glance it will confuse the daylights out of an otherwise HTML-savvy person who has never seen it before. But I certainly like it compared to tag soup.
