Question

I have a small HAML paragraph with links like this:

%p
  =link_to("My Disclosures", "#")
  =link_to("Create Disclosure", "#")
  =link_to("My Programs", "#") 
  =link_to("Log Out", "#")

What I want to do is to put a separator like this “|” between the links, but I am not sure how. I tried putting it next to the text inside the “” but it became part of the link text. When I tried putting the separators at the end of the line, it just didn’t show up.

Any idea how I can get the serperating character to render as just text after a link?

Thanks!

You can just write the string itself on its own line:

%p
  =link_to("My Disclosures", "#")
  |
  =link_to("Create Disclosure", "#")
  |
  =link_to("My Programs", "#") 
  |
  =link_to("Log Out", "#")

Alternatively, you can append it to your output string:

%p
  =link_to("My Disclosures", "#") << '|'
  =link_to("Create Disclosure", "#") << '|'
  =link_to("My Programs", "#") << '|'
  =link_to("Log Out", "#")
