I see, and thank you for your response. This project does indeed use jade,
if that changes things. I have a /routes/index.js containing:
exports.index = function(req, res){
res.render('index', { title: 'iIndex' });
};
and then a /views/index.jade containing:
extends layout
block content
h1= title
p Welcome to #{title}
If this makes a difference in the use of the router, please let me know,
otherwise I'll just continue with the 3.x way as you suggested.
thanks again
