## HamlLint/MultilineScript
Don't span Ruby script over multiple lines using operators.
**Bad**
```haml
- if condition ||
- other_condition
Display something!
```
**Good**
```haml
- if condition || other_condition
Display something!
```
While writing code this way may sometimes work, it is actually a result of a
quirk in how HAML generates code from a template. While the following code
will compile and run:
```haml
- if condition ||
- other_condition
Display something!
```
...this code will fail with a parse error:
```haml
- if condition ||
- other_condition
Display something!
- else
Otherwise display this!
```
Thus it's best to stay away from writing code this way.
