Custom Doctypes

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.1//EN">

Doctype Option
The doctype affects compilation in some other cases, for example self closing tags and boolean attributes). For this reason, you might sometimes want to specify it manually. You can do this via the doctype option. e.g.

var jade = require('./');

// Compile a function
var fn = jade.compile('img(src="foo.png")', {doctype: 'xml'});

// Render the function
var html = fn({});
// => '<img src="foo.png"></img>'

// Compile a function
var fn = jade.compile('img(src="foo.png")', {doctype: 'html'});

// Render the function
var html = fn({});
// => '<img src="foo.png">'
