Is it possible to write PHP in jade/pug?

Question

Is it possible? If so, how? If its not, do I have to abandon pug if I need to write PHP in my documents? After searching around I didnt find anyone that has adressed this.

Answer 1

Since PHP doesn't care whether the "outside" code is HTML or really anything specific, you could simply use PHP as you normally would and have it output Pug-formatted code instead of HTML. For instance:

myPugTemplate.pug.php

html
  head
    title "title ?>"
  body
    foo) {
        echo $indent . 'bar= myPost';
      } else {
        echo $indent . 'baz= myNav';
      }
    ?>
    footer
      +footerContent

And if your Pug is processed on the server then you'd also include a Pug-processing step, for instance if you use Apache you could use mod_ext_filter configured in such fashion with pug-cli installed:

ExtFilterDefine pug-to-html mode=output intype=text/pug outtype=text/html \
  cmd="pug"


  SetOutputFilter pug-to-html
