Pug templates used to be called Jade templates and the project was renamed.

You can override a .pug file’s template engine. Read more at Changing a Template’s Rendering Engine.

Pug Options #

Set compile/render options using the Configuration API. See all Pug options.

module.exports = function(eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.setPugOptions({ debug: true });
};

As an escape mechanism for advanced usage, pass in your own instance of the Pug library using the Configuration API.

module.exports = function(eleventyConfig) {
  let pug = require("pug");
  eleventyConfig.setLibrary("pug", pug);
};

✅ Extends (Relative Path) New in v0.2.15	Relative paths use `./` (template’s directory) or `../` (template’s parent directory). Example: `{% extends ./layout.pug %}` looks for `layout.pug` in the template’s current directory. Does not process front matter in the extends file.
