Passing raw Markdown text to Jade

Question

I\'m playing around with my first Node.js Express application, and as every programmer knows, the first thing you should build when testing out a new framework is a blog! Anyway

Answer 1

You can do this with a function passed in to jade from node:

var md = require("node-markdown").Markdown;

Then pass it into the view as a local:

res.render('view', { md:md, markdownContent:data });

Then render it in the jade view by calling the function:

!= md(markdownContent)
