Description
I have code that looks like this in an application:
ContentSlide(title: "Why Phlex?"){
Markdown <<~MARKDOWN
* Because its fun
* Because its super-de-dooper
MARKDOWN
},
The "squiggle" HEREDOCs strips the indentation, but the name of the HEREDOC doesn't look that great since "Markdown" appears twice.
What I'd prefer is a string literal that deals with indentation, maybe it looks something like this:
ContentSlide(title: "Why Phlex?"){
Markdown %~{
# Why do you like markdown?
* Because its fun
* Because its super-de-dooper
}
},
If Ruby doesn't want to go down the path of adding another type of literal, I'd propose adding a method to String that does the same thing as the ~
HEREDOC so something like this is possible:
ContentSlide(title: "Why Phlex?"){
Markdown %{
# Why do you like markdown?
* Because its fun
* Because its super-de-dooper
}.dedent
},
