Discussion on: Pug in 5 minutes

View post

I love pug (since jade days) and especially the markdown filter is neat for simple content that might need some more complex html.

pugjs.org/language/filters.html

:markdown-it(linkify langPrefix='highlight-')
  # Markdown

  Markdown document with http://links.com and

  ` ` ` js
  var codeBlocks;
  ` ` `
script
  :coffee-script
    console.log 'This is coffee script'

someone wrote an article about it here: dev.to/patarapolw/pug-with-markdow...

PS: I'm using the php pug port :D which is a bit weird, but works well.

Is the port weird or is using it in PHP weird?

Marcus • May 13 '20

It was weird that the php port comes with the full node package - in case node is available (if I remember right) and it's weird because the handling of variables was not 100% consistent. Sometimes you had to write $var['key'] - but maybe these problems are solved now, haven't installed it for quite some time.

But else, it rocks.

Oh so it still requires Node to run and provides a $var array for variables? That is weird. 😕

No no, it doesn't require Node at all! The information I gave was probably old or misleading.
I know their goal was to make it 100% compatible with the Node version, so I'm sure everything in the Node version, works in the php version.

Yeah, me too! 😅

I've never really used filtering though. I'll definitely give it a look 👍

I was unaware of some of the ports and packages that have come out. Yet to try out the React integration 😎
