Rendering HTML in variable using Jade

Question

I have some text stored in a variable which contains some HTML. For example, the <b>cat</b> in the hat. However, when I render it in Jade, it shows up with the tags instead of rendering the formatting. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Code buffered by = is escaped by default for security, however to output unescaped return values you may use !=

p!= aVarContainingHTML

Answer 2

The syntax you need is :

!{yourJsVariable}

if you use #{yourJsVariable} it shows < >, but with !{} it doesn't.
