As @mark pointed out below the reason you were receiving the error was because if a line starts with a . haml is expecting a class name in order to render a div with that class.

Mark's answer is still going to be the best, for readability.

You could do this in pure HAML by using the > operator on the b tag to remove surrounding spaces. However, you'd need to insert a non-breaking space before the bold word to keep it separate.

.my_class  
== 
<div class='my_class'></div>
