Question

I am new to using Jade — and it’s awesome so far.

But one thing that I need to happen is an element with ‘itemscope’ property:

<header itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/WPHeader">

My Jade notation is:

header(itemscope, itemtype='http://schema.org/WPHeader')

But result is:

<header itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/WPHeader">

How can I make sure that I get the right result — itemscope instead of itemscope="itemscope"?

Answer 1

I just tried it in a Express.js/Jade project and the result i get is:

<header itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/WPHeader"></header>

I also tried it in bash and then I get the same result as you.

I’d go with the following suggestion or create an issue on Github.

itemscope=”itemscope” will work just as well as just itemscope. It looks like that’s the default behavior of Jade. I’d just go with it.
