如何使用haml与Rails中的许多元素建立链接

Question

I am very new in ruby, in rails and in haml. I was recoding a little site I have, and I was trying to create a link in wich is nested a few elements.

The structure I want to be outputted is this one:

<a href="somewhere">
    <span>
         <img src="/imgs/hello.png" />
    </span>
    <strong>6
        <em>Oct</em>
    </strong>
    <h1>Title</h1>
</a>

So I was trying it doing this (obviously its real indentation is one tab more than the parent element):

= link_to("somewhere") do 
    %span
        %img(src="/imgs/hello.png")
    %strong 6
        %em Oct
    %h1 Title
end

Wich for me seems to be logic. But it does not. It gives me this error:

Inconsistent indentation: " \\t\\t\\t\\t\\t" was used for indentation, but the rest of the document was indented using 1 tab.

The error line number it's the first line after link_to; the %span element. So, I thought it was because I was not using link_to in a correct way, but seeing that the error talks about indentation problems and after trying it in many different ways, I cannot get it into run.

This should work.

= link_to("somewhere") do
  %span
    %img(src="/imgs/hello.png")
    %strong 
      6
      %em Oct
  %h1 Title

Also, make sure in your editor you're using spaces as tabs. This will get rid of any funky business.
