Re: [Express-js] Jade: Pass markdown filter a variable.

FYI: `github-flavored-markdown` is now deprecated. Use `marked` instead.

That's the only solution I was able to find, too, though in my case I made it a view helper and called it from the view:

app.helpers({ md : function(text){

   return ghm.parse(text);

}});

div != md(content.body)

Sorry I was trying to make it more generic then what I am doing and had some typos. Let's try this again:

ghm = require("github-flavored-markdown");

exports.about = function(req, res) {

  Content.findOne({}, function(err, content) {

    content.body = ghm.parse(content.body);

    res.render('about/index', {

      content: content,

    });

  });

};

Then in about/index.jade

div !{content.body}

Sorry hit send by accident. Then in the view just did

div !{mission.body}

I had a similar issue before. I used github-flavored-markdown and parsed the markdown before handing off to the view. ie:

ghm = require("github-flavored-markdown");

exports.mission = function(req, res) {

  Content.findOne({}, function(err, content) {

    content.body = ghm.parse(content.body);

    res.render('about/index', {

      content: content,

    });

  });

};

Then in index.jade

Were just trying the same thing.

What are your suggested approach to this?

I've got the markdown-js package

Thanks!

filters are compile-time, they can't have access to vars since they're only compiled once

How can I pass a variable to the markdown filter?

I tried

:markdown

  #{description}

:markdown=description

But none seem to be working.
