Jade Converts & To & When Javascript Is Used

I've just started using Harp 0.30.1 which comes with Jade installed as a pre-processor. So I'm just starting with Jade, too. I have a folder containing a set of files with filename

Solution 1:

You can use the unescaped string interpolation syntax (!{variable}) instead of the regular string interpolation syntax (#{variable}) in order to get those non-breaking spaces to render.

In your case:

a(href= fileName) !{trim(fileName)}

But keep in mind this word of warning from the Pug documentation:

Caution

Keep in mind that buffering unescaped content into your templates can be mighty risky if that content comes fresh from your users. Never trust user input!
