Additional configuration to customize processor

_config/site.yml
# append
interpolate: false 1
haml:
  :ugly: true 2
1Disables interpolation of Ruby variable expressions in content (e.g., #{name})
2Disables pretty printing (indentation) of HTML output

Clean and preview site to see changes

$ rake clean
$ rake
The clean step is required since a change to the configuration file, _config/site.yml, does not force pages to be regenerated automatically.

Write in plain text

I do not believe that on-page, in-context editing should be the primary edit mode of a CMS.
