Is it possible to include external files when using Jade’s :markdown filter?

Question

I\'m building an Express.js Node app and using Jade templates. Jade provides a :markdown filter which enables embedding Markdown code inside Jade:

h         


        

Answer 1

the :md modifier does not work for me either, but this works:

html
  body

    // works:

    include file.md

    //- does not work:

    include:markdown file.md
    include:md file.md

I am using docpad with the HTML5 Boilerplate template.

You also should consider the problem of no auto-generation of including *.html.jade files of such includes:

Answer 2

First, run this command:

npm install marked --save

Then, do this:

include:md ../path/to/markdown/file.md

Answer 3

You can include markdown files using the :md filter modifier.

eg.

html
  body
    include:md ../path/to/markdown/file.md
