Or if you prefer variables: - var catDepth = '' Perch:category(id='desc' type='textarea' label='Description' editor='markitup' markdown='true' size='s')/ Perch:category(id='catSlug' type='slug' for='catTitle' suppress='true')/ Perch:category(id='catTitle' type='smarttext' label='Title' required='true')/ This can be written like this in Pug: perch:before This is perch/templates/categories/category.html: pug files, you might want to use //- when adding development notes that don’t need to be output to the browser. For example, if your development team mainly look at your. It’s up to you where to keep your comments. - This comment won't be in your perch_template.html so won't get output to the browser This comment will also be in your perch_template.html and get output to the browser pug files and not have them in your perch_template.html at all: The above works fine in Pug, but perhaps you want to keep comments in your. Since we need the special characters we need to use != instead of =.Īlternatively, you can use variables for this: - var url = '' Note that Pug by default escapes special characters in attributes. What you can do instead is writing the tag yourself: a(href!='') Link You cannot do the following as Pug won’t compile the perch:content here: // doesn't workĪ(href='perch:content(id='url' type='text')/') Link In Perch templates we often have Perch tags inside HTML tags. 3- Tags inside another tag’s attributes: Perch:content(id='title' type='text' label='Title')/ Perch:content(id='title' type='text' label='Title') While Pug automatically self-close HTML tags such as img and meta, you need to explicitly self-close your Perch tags when needed: // not self-closing In Pug you can output plain text (including raw HTML) like so: perch:before In this case, we have to manually write the opening and closing tags.

It’s common to have an opening tag inside and the closing tag inside.

This compiles to: Notes: 1- Manually outputting opening and closing tags: perch:before Here’s how you’d write a simple perch:content tag with Pug: perch:content(id='title' type='text' label='Title')/ So I decided to try using Pug (previously known as Jade), because why not?! I was using a HTML preprocessor on a non-Perch project and I started wondering whether using one to write Perch templates would be a worthy addition to my Perch workflow.
