-\ No newline at end of file
+Haml is a markup language predominantly used with Ruby that’s used to cleanly and simply describe the HTML of any web document without the use of inline code. It encourages well-written markup.
+
+Haml aims to reduce repetition in your markup by closing tags for you based on the structure of the indents in your code. The result is markup that is well-structured, DRY, logical, and easier to read.
+
+```haml
+/ -------------------------------------------
+/ Comments
+/ -------------------------------------------
+
+/ This is what a comment looks like haml
+
+/
+  To write a multi line comment, indent your commented code to be
+  wrapped by the forward slash
+
+-# This is a silent comment, which means it wont be rendered into the doc at all
+
+
+/ -------------------------------------------
+/ Html elements
+/ -------------------------------------------
+
+/ To write your tags, use the percent sign followed by the name of the tag
+%body
+  %header
+    %nav
+
+/ Notice no closing tags. The above code would output
+
+  <body>
+    <header>
+      <nav></nav>
+    </header>
+  </body>
+
+/ Divs are the default elements so they can be written simply like this
+.foo
+
+/ To add content to a tag, nest it
+%h1 Headline copy
+
+/ 
+  To output a ruby value as the contents of the tag, use an equals sign followed
+  by the ruby code
+
+%h1= author.name
+
+/ Classes can be added to your tags either by chaining .classnames to the tag
+%div.foo.bar
+
+/ or as part of a ruby hash
+%div{:class => 'foo bar'}
+
+/ Attributes for any tag can be added in the hash
+%a{:href => '#', :class => 'bar', :title => 'Bar'}
+
+/ For boolean attributes assign the value 'true'
+%input{:selected => true}
+
+/ To write data-attributes, use the :data key with it's value as another hash
+%div{:data => {:attribute => 'foo'}}
