Need to identify compilable strategy

For example, a haml document

ok
= @foo
done

- if @foo
  = Time.now
- else
  there's no time like the present

compiles to this str, which is reflected as a method on the action_view object, and reused unless the template's timestamp is newer than the methods.

extend Haml::Helpers;_hamlout = @haml_buffer = Haml::Buffer.new(@haml_buffer, {:attr_wrapper=>"'", :format=>:xhtml, :autoclose=>["meta", "img", "link", "br", "hr", "input", "area", "param", "col", "base"], :preserve=>["textarea", "pre"], :ugly=>false});_erbout = _hamlout.buffer;__in_erb_template = true;;
_hamlout.push_text("ok\n");haml_temp =  @foo;
haml_temp = _hamlout.push_script(haml_temp, false, false, false, false, false);

_hamlout.push_text("done\n"); if @foo;
haml_temp =  Time.now;
haml_temp = _hamlout.push_script(haml_temp, false, false, false, false, false); else;

_hamlout.push_text("there's no time like the present\n");end;
@haml_buffer = @haml_buffer.upper;_erbout;

So, presumably the renshi parser should do something similar.

The problem with doing this, though, is that it means writing the template parser specifically for the Rails platform. I wonder how haml handles Sinatra integration?

Done for statements and conditional expressions.
