Question 1

What is Pug (formerly Jade)?

Accepted Answer

Pug is a high-performance template engine for Node.js that compiles to HTML. It uses significant whitespace indentation instead of closing tags, making templates more concise. Jade was renamed to Pug in 2016 due to a trademark issue.

Question 2

How does the HTML to Pug conversion work?

Accepted Answer

The converter parses your HTML using the browser DOM, walks the element tree and emits Pug lines with proper indentation. Tag names, IDs, classes, attributes and text content are all preserved. Optional toggles let you keep or drop the wrapping html, head and body tags.

Question 3

Can I convert a full HTML page?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste a complete HTML document and the tool produces a full Pug template including doctype, html, head, body and all nested content. Toggle the option to omit wrapping tags if you only need a fragment.

Question 4

Is my HTML sent to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. The HTML is parsed locally in your browser by the DOM API. Nothing is uploaded — your code never leaves your device.
