Difference between <<~ and <<-

If you use heredoc in ruby you can choose one of two syntaxes the first <<- it takes all whitespace before stared of text so

def custom_html  
  <<-HTML
    <html>
      <body>
      </body>
    </html>
  HTML
end

so if you will get string with all withspaces " <html>\n <body>\n </body>\n </html>\n" second <<~ will strip it so

def custom_html  
  <<~HTML
    <html>
      <body>
      </body>
    </html>
  HTML
end

will give you will get text "<html>\n <body>\n </body>\n</html>\n"
