Ok, so there's the blurred line. Jade being so tightly integrated with NodeJS, I assumed there would be the two intermingled in the same knowledge base/pool. My bad. The part about rendering in Node *or* Jade is OT I suppose as well. I'll go suck on my vacuum cleaner at the electric company. Wow...
"How would you write this in Jade? *Or, how would you do this in node and tell it to render?*" I guess I will go find a Jade email list to help learn best practices from.
