how to include 5 <BR>'s in Haml?

this code

= 5.times {|n| puts "<BR>"}

does nothing for me ...

- 5.times do
  %br

Another way:

= "<br/>"*5

You can use % to specifically add a tag. So, for 5
do

%br/
%br/
%br/
%br/
%br/

But: why would you want to do this? It would probably be a better idea to use a %div and set the spacing in CSS rather than multiple BR tags.

You can also insert regular html.

Like this:

%p
  Headline
  <br><br><br><br><br>
  Paragraph goes here, blah blah blah...

Or like that:

:plain
  <br><br><br><br><br>
