Coffee Flavored Jade - Your favorite template engine, now with more pep
Jade is a high performance template engine heavily influenced by Haml and implemented with JavaScript for node. For discussion join the Google Group.
Jade-CoffeeScript is a fork of TJ's Jade project that adds the following features:
- CoffeeScript Jade Dialect - when the rest of your client code is Coffee flavored, it's tedious and annoying to hit JavaScript quirks inside Jade templates.
- Inline Templates - an elegant way to keep templates and code in the same file
- Ruby on Rails Integration
The Jade Language
To understand what Jade is, see jade-lang.com or the syntax docs. This document will avoid general descriptions of the Jade language and focus on deltas to the original project.
