Question

Here’s my Haml code:

%html
  %head
  %body
    %table {'width' => 638, 'border' => 0, 'cellpadding' => 0, 'cellspacing' => 0}
      %tr
        %td {'width' => 27, 'height' => 100}
        %td {'width' => 582, 'height' => 100}
        %td {'width' => 29, 'height' => 100}

when I enter haml example.haml example.html, I get the following error:

Syntax error on line 5: Illegal nesting: content can't be both given on the same line as %table and nested within it.

What am I doing incorrectly?

You need to remove the spaces between the tags and the braces, like so:

%html
  %head
  %body
    %table{'width' => 638, 'border' => 0, 'cellpadding' => 0, 'cellspacing' => 0}
      %tr
        %td{'width' => 27, 'height' => 100}
        %td{'width' => 582, 'height' => 100}
        %td{'width' => 29, 'height' => 100}
