The extra text (hilighted with yellow) disturbs my design
Any idea why this is happening?
this dosn’t happen if I dont use layout and use only index.erb with all html code

[Edit:]
Use of <%= yield -%> throws error (unexpected tUMINUS, expecting kEND ; @_out_buf.concat ” “; – yield -; @_out_buf.concat “\n” ) in …. layout.rb

    my best guess is the 4 spaces come from the soft tabs in your layout.erb

    <body>
____<%= yield %>
</body>

    try <body><%= yield%></body>?

    I’ve been using Slim a long while
    and

    body
= yield

    never fails me whitespace

    hate ERB
