Question 1

What is Jade/Pug?

Accepted Answer

Jade (now called Pug) is a whitespace-sensitive HTML template language. Instead of angle-bracket tags, you write tag names followed by attributes in parentheses and content as indented children. It compiles to standard HTML.

Question 2

Does this convert Pug back to HTML?

Accepted Answer

This tool converts HTML → Pug. Compiling Pug → HTML requires the full Pug compiler (a Node.js package). You can do that locally with 'npx pug --pretty your-file.pug'.

Question 3

What HTML features does the converter support?

Accepted Answer

The converter handles element nesting, id (#) and class (.) shorthand, arbitrary attributes in parentheses, inline text content, self-closing elements (input, img, br, hr, etc.), and script/style blocks as raw text.

Question 4

Why is Jade now called Pug?

Accepted Answer

The name 'Jade' was trademarked by another software company, so the project was renamed to Pug in 2016. The syntax is identical — Jade and Pug are the same language.
