HTML comment before and after a block

[Jej]

Hi all,

In haml:

/ Header
#header
...

renders in html:

<!-- Header -->
<div id='header'>
...
</div>

I wonder if it's possible to automatically add a closing comment to
the block, in this way:

<!-- Header -->
<div id='header'>
...
</div>
<!-- End of Header -->


Maybe a feature request...

It could be:

// Header
#header
...

or

/ Header
#header
...
/

Any idea?

Read you,

There's no such feature, nor is there likely to be in core. It would make a fine plugin, though.

Is there some doc about extending haml, a howto ? Cannot find sharp
information.

There isn't any concrete plugin/extension interface. You'll have to do some monkeypatching of the Haml::Precompiler code, which you'll need to read (or at least skim) in order to get a good understanding.

Ok, thanks.

I will have a glipse on the code, but I think I will leave the task
for someone interested in this feature :)
