Where does HAML load its templates from?

I am dabbling in some existing code and I am able to render some HAML like this:

.content_container
    %strong{:class => "code", :id => "message"} Hello World!

But when the page loads, this HTML is rendered in an existing layout with a lot of the elements already defined.

I looked in config/settings/environment.rb which I was suggested to do by a HAML tutorial, but there was no mention of any other HAML code there.

Any idea how I can overwrite the header or find where the template is predefined?

It sounds like the template is being rendered with a layout. look in <app_root>/app/views/layouts/ for your missing HTML.

HAML likes files in the views directory that have a haml extension.

The docs say:

...all view files with the ".html.haml" extension will be compiled using Haml.
