Hi there. Thanks for the reply.
OK I see what you mean about {} vs (). But I’ve taken out the link for now to
see what I can accomplish with the Time.now.year. It’s still throwing the join
error with:
%strong= © #{Time.now.year} Alpha Company
and
%strong= © '#{Time.now.year}’ Alpha Company
What I’ve done is this:
%strong= ["©", Time.now.year, “Alpha Company"].join(" “)
As for inline HTML, can I embed that into HAML to get around the restrictions?
How HAML doesn’t handle inline links is a bit strange considering it’s meant to
save time and remain flexible.
Cheers
