Rails creating unordered list in HAML

I am sorry if this question is not appropriate but I am trying to render an unordered list in HAML, HTML version looks like this:

<% @movies.comments.each do |comment| %>
  <ul class="comments">
    <li><%= comment.text %></li>
  </ul>
<% end %>

I used 3 different html->haml online converters and all render this haml.

- @movies.comments.each do |comment|
  %ul.comments
    %li= comment.text

However the output is this (with 3 comments in a movie):

<ul class="comments">
  <li>asdasdasd</li>
</ul>
<ul class="comments">
  <li>asdasdasd</li>
</ul>
<ul class="comments">
  <li>asdasdasd</li>
</ul>

Why does this create 3 separate ul elements, instead of one and 3 li elements in it?

It's not about HAML. It does what it does because you create ul element inside loop. What you want to do is to put root ul node on top:

%ul.comments
  - @movies.comments.each do |comment|
    %li= comment.text
