回答1:

It is called "interpolation".

It means that "messages()" is escaped, e.g. if you have following code:

var randomText = '<p> this is a <strong>text</strong></p>'
p= randomText

which would normally, unescaped, produce just what it is:

'<p> this is a <strong>text</strong></p>'

but if I typed this:

p!= randomText

it would actually became a p tag, looking exactly like this:

this is a text

Hope it helps you :-)

You can read more about in the documentation, here: https://pugjs.org/language/interpolation.html

you should try

if(!messages())
 table(class='table table-striped')

you have to assign some value into left hand side. otherwise just validate into if condition.
