Includes

Includes allow you to insert the contents of one jade file into another.

//- index.jade
doctype html
html
  include ./includes/head.jade
  body
    h1 My Site
    p Welcome to my super lame site.
    include ./includes/foot.jade
//- includes/head.jade
head
  title My Site
  script(src='/javascripts/jquery.js')
  script(src='/javascripts/app.js')
//- includes/foot.jade
#footer
  p Copyright (c) foobar
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My Site</title>
    <script src='/javascripts/jquery.js'></script>
    <script src='/javascripts/app.js'></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>My Site</h1>
    <p>Welcome to my super lame site.</p>
    <div id="footer">
      <p>Copyright (c) foobar</p>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

Including Plain Text

Including files that are not jade just includes the raw text.

//- index.jade
doctype html
html
  head
    style
      include style.css
  body
    h1 My Site
    p Welcome to my super lame site.
    script
      include script.js
/* style.css */
h1 { color: red; }
// script.js
console.log('You are awesome');
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <style>
      /* style.css */
      h1 { color: red; }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>My Site</h1>
    <p>Welcome to my super lame site.</p>
    <script>
      // script.js
      console.log('You are awesome');
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Including Filtered Text

You can combine filters with includes to filter things as you include them.

//- index.jade
doctype html
html
  head
    title An Article
  body
    include:markdown article.md
# article.md
This is an article written in markdown.
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>An Article</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>article.md</h1>
    <p>This is an article written in markdown.</p>
  </body>
</html>
