Includes

Includes allow you to insert the contents of one Pug file into another.

//- index.pug
doctype html
html
  include includes/head.pug
  body
    h1 My Site
    p Welcome to my super lame site.
    include includes/foot.pug

//- includes/head.pug
head
  title My Site
  script(src='/javascripts/jquery.js')
  script(src='/javascripts/app.js')

//- includes/foot.pug
footer#footer
  p Copyright (c) foobar

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <title>My Site</title>
  <script src="/javascripts/jquery.js"></script>
  <script src="/javascripts/app.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
  <h1>My Site</h1>
  <p>Welcome to my super lame site.</p>
  <footer id="footer">
    <p>Copyright (c) foobar</p>
  </footer>
</body>

</html>

If the path is absolute (e.g., include /root.pug), it is resolved by prepending options.basedir. Otherwise, paths are resolved relative to the current file being compiled.

If no file extension is given, .pug is automatically appended to the file name.

Including Plain Text

Including non-Pug files simply includes their raw text.

//- index.pug
doctype html
html
  head
    style
      include style.css
  body
    h1 My Site
    p Welcome to my super lame site.
    script
      include script.js

/* style.css */
h1 {
  color: red;
}

// script.js
console.log('You are awesome');

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <style>
    /* style.css */
    h1 {
      color: red;
    }
  </style>
</head>

<body>
  <h1>My Site</h1>
  <p>Welcome to my super lame site.</p>
  <script>
    // script.js
    console.log('You are awesome');
  </script>
</body>

</html>

Including Filtered Text

You can combine filters with includes, allowing you to filter things as you include them.

//- index.pug
doctype html
html
  head
    title An Article
  body
    include:markdown-it article.md

# article.md

This is an article written in markdown.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>An Article</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>article.md</h1>
    <p>This is an article written in markdown.</p>
  </body>
</html>
