filename Used in exceptions, and required when using includescompileDebug When false no debug instrumentation is compiledpretty Add pretty-indentation whitespace to output (false by default)The latest version of jade can be download for the browser in standalone form from here. It only supports the very latest browsers though, and is a large file. It is recommended that you pre-compile your jade templates to JavaScript and then just use the runtime.js library on the client.
To compile a template for use on the client using the command line, do:
$ jade --client --no-debug filename.jade
which will produce filename.js containing the compiled template.
After installing the latest version of node, install with:
$ npm install jade -g
and run with
$ jade --help
