Introduction

An example App.config for nhaml.

```

<configSections>
    <section name="nhaml" type="NHaml.Configuration.NHamlConfigurationSection, NHaml"/>
</configSections>

```

autoRecompile

NHaml views are compiled. The first time an NHaml view is requested it is parsed and compiled into a .NET Type capable of rendering the view. This Type is then cached. The view engine can then be set to autoRecompile. When autoRecompile is set to true the view engine will always recompile a view . When autoRecompile is set to false the view engine will only recompile a cached view if any of it's constituent haml files are modified. autoRecompile may be enabled through the web.config file like so:

templateCompiler

This controls the temaplte compiler that will be used for the inline code used in views. Shorthand is supported for C# i.e. CSharp2, CSharp2 and CSharp4. For all other compilers fully qualified type name is required. The currently supported compilers are

• NHaml.Compilers.CSharp2.CSharp2TemplateCompiler, NHaml
• NHaml.Compilers.CSharp3.CSharp3TemplateCompiler, NHaml
• NHaml.Compilers.CSharp4.CSharp4TemplateCompiler, NHaml
• NHaml.Compilers.IronRuby.IronRubyTemplateCompiler, NHaml.Compilers.IronRuby
• NHaml.Compilers.VisualBasic.VisualBasicTemplateCompiler, NHaml.Compilers.VisualBasic
• NHaml.Compilers.Boo.BooTemplateCompiler, NHaml.Compilers.Boo
• NHaml.Compilers.FSharp.FSharpTemplateCompiler, NHaml.Compilers.FSharp

useTabs

nhaml is a indentation sensitive lanugage. i.e. the level of indentation is used to control logic. The useTabs setting is used to define what type of indentation character to use.

true to use tabs false (or non-existant) for spaces.

indentSize

The number of tabs or spaces to indicate an indent.

outputDebugFiles

Used to output temporary source code files for debugging purposes.See DebugExceptionsOrStepThroughTemplates

assemblies

All assemblies that are necessary for compilation.

namespaces

All namespaces that are necessary for compilation.
