nodejs, jade escape markup

Question

I have an Express app using the default Jade view engine. When I try to render HTML as-is in a

 element, it gets rendered as actual DOM elements inst         


        

Answer 1

As an addition, here is another use case which you need to consider:

If you are extrapolating the HTML content using the #{...}, it will still give the wrong output. For that use case, you need the !{...} alternative.

So,

div= varname

becomes

div!= varname

---

And

div #{varname} is extrapolated badly

becomes

div !{varname} is extrapolated perfectly
