Questions tagged [pug]

Pug (formerly known as Jade) is a robust, elegant and feature-rich template engine for Node.js.

Pug (formerly Jade) is a clean, whitespace-sensitive syntax for writing HTML. Here is a simple example:

doctype html
html(lang="en")
  head
    title= pageTitle
    - if (foo) bar(1 + 5)
  body
    h1 Pug - node template engine
    #container.col
      if youAreUsingPug
        p You are amazing
      else
        p Get on it!
      p.
        Pug is a terse and simple templating language with a
        strong focus on performance and powerful features.

Produces following output as HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Pug</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      if (foo) bar(1 + 5)
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Pug - node template engine</h1>
    <div id="container" class="col">
      <p>You are amazing</p>
      <p>Pug is a terse and simple templating language with a strong focus on performance and powerful features.</p>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
