html_safe not working?

[cmer]

I am trying to pass a raw HTML string as an argument like this:

span "  ·  ".html_safe

but it gets escaped and the browser outputs it as is. Is this a bug, expected, or is there another way around this?

Hey @cmer, you can get unescaped output using the raw method. Sorry this isn’t documented at the moment.

span { raw "  ·  " }

I wanted to avoid using .html_safe as it requires a String patch from Rails and it’s slower than passing the string to a raw method.

Thanks!
