Hello Dominik, thank you for the response. I do not have any variables in my HTML templates (partials) because I use TransparencyJS to fill in my data (Transparency is DOM based and requires no DSL). All I need is to be able to break my single-page app’s HTML into separate files (header, footer, etc) for easier maintenance, and have them joined up similar to how the old SSI used to work. Or even just compiled beforehand.

I don’t use Jade because I am not in favour of DSLs (or equivalent). I know HTML, it works with my editors/plugins/toolchain. With TransparencyJS I do not need the templating and logic provided by templating engines like Jade (I am also philosophically disinclined to mix logic into UI, as most templating engines do). Appreciate the response from both of you, —ravi P.S: I decided to buy CodeKit (yes, I realise the DSL’ishness of it) and deal with my problem outside of Node/Express. But if anyone has suggestions I would still love to hear them, and am grateful for them. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
