How to use NHaml in MVC 4?

Question

I have used haml in Ruby on Rails, and I found a haml version in .Net called NHaml, I am tired to search how to implement NHaml in a web application, I read this article: http://weblogs.asp.net/stephenwalther/asp-net-mvc-tip-35-use-the-nhaml-view-engine but I can't complete the steps because I have an error with this line

ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(new NHamlControllerFactory());

I think that the tutorial is for a old version, I need to use Html in MVC 4, really I don't know if the project is dead, because the information that I found is of 2011, 2010, 2009...

Generally speaking, NHaml is dead, or at best a deadman walking in terms of updates. Getting it running for MVC 4 would basically be all on you to edit it. You're probably better off getting use to Razor syntax. — Seneca, Jun 19 '14 at 18:28

Remove any old versions you have and install this one:

https://github.com/NHaml/NHaml

Then, add this line:

ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new NHaml.Web.Mvc3.NHamlMvcViewEngine())

Instead of downloading from GitHub, you could also install the [System.Web.NHaml.Mvc3 NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Web.NHaml.Mvc3/). – Scott Jan 08 '18 at 20:24
