title: Best Practices for Styling ERB
body: <p>I'd like to get some community input on best practices for styling your ERB templates.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I use a Tab Width of 2.</li>
  <li>I use soft tabs (spaces).</li>
  <li>I use a Word Wrap of 80.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I indent all my HTML tags in addition to Ruby code inside my ERB templates.</p>
  
  <p>This usually makes for very readable ERB.</p>
  
  <p>Assuming the above or similar parameters, how do you prefer indent longer lines? </p>
  
  <p>Consider this example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="content"&gt;
    &lt;div class="row"&gt;
      &lt;div class="span10"&gt;
        &lt;%= simple_form_for(@user, html: { class: 'form-horizontal' }) do |f| %&gt;
          &lt;%= f.input :MembershipID, label: 'Membership ID :', hint: 'Use the user\'s official Membership ID if they have one. Otherwise, enter their phone number (e.g. 2125551234)', input_html: { value: @user[:MembershipID] } %&gt;
        &lt;% end %&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <strong>f.input</strong> line gets to be pretty ugly and unreadable.</p>
  
  <p>I was thinking something like this would be ideal, but I wanted to get some feedback before changing a lot of my style.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="content"&gt;
    &lt;div class="row"&gt;
      &lt;div class="span10"&gt;
        &lt;%= simple_form_for(@user, html: { class: 'form-horizontal' }) do |f| %&gt;
          &lt;%= f.input :MembershipID, 
                  label: 'Membership ID :', 
                  hint: 'Use the user\'s official Membership ID if they have one. Otherwise, enter their phone number (e.g. 2125551234)', 
                  input_html: { value: @user[:MembershipID] } %&gt;
        &lt;% end %&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm back and forth on whether double indenting from the ERB begin tag <strong>&lt;%=</strong> or from the helper name <strong>f.input</strong> is better.</p>
  
  <p>Please weigh in! (and please let's not turn this into a ERB vs HAML debate, assume ERB only!)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
