Using multiline declarations in Haml is intentionally awkward.
This is designed to discourage people from putting lots and lots of Ruby code
in their Haml templates.
If you find yourself using multiline declarations, stop and think:
could I do this better with a helper?
Note that there is one case where it's useful to allow
something to flow over onto multiple lines in a non-awkward manner: attributes.
Some elements just have lots of attributes,
so you can wrap attributes without using `|` (see [Attributes](#attributes)).
## Whitespace Preservation
Sometimes you don't want Haml to indent all your text.
