Unable to handle complex html tags with underscore and hyphens inside the tag name

[akiran]

Hi,

I am trying to use hamlpy for an web app with django and Angularjs.
Angularjs introduces html tags with hyphen in tag name. Ex: ng-view
hamlpy is compiling
%ng-view
as
-view
but, the expected result is

Ruby Haml is handling these tags properly, hamlpy seems to have a bug.

I temporarily got around this problem by changing the tag regular expression in HAML_REGEX of hamlpy.elements module
old tag regex: (?P%\w+(:\w+)?)?
changed tag regex: (?P%\w+(-\w+)?(:\w+)?)?

I'm having this issue too. An alternative fix is to just use HTML. e.g:

  .col-md-4
    %div{ng-controller: 'StatsController'}
      <my-visualization val="data"></my-visualization>

From a bug point of view, I think the fix by @akiran should be included in the code, as it's a valid tag name.
