thanks, henry.

ok, fair enough.  but until i finish converting the document, is there a
"safe" way to have jade ignore the part of the document that hasn't been
converted yet?

i wish there were some kind of preprocessor thing i could use, like:

        <para>friends, romans, countrymen.  lend me your ears.<para>

        #if 0
        not converted yet...
        i come to bury caesar --- not to praise him.  the evil that men do [...]
        #endif
