Diet template does not support :javascript filter, yet?

[zhaopuming]

I can't find a way to write <script> javascript code in diet template, they all seem to be escaped somehow.

Scalate (Jade with Scala) supports <script> javascript code by a :javascript filter, as shown in this page

http://scalate.fusesource.org/documentation/jade.html

:javascript
  if (foo) {
     bar()
  }

Will that be supported soon? or else how can I write javascript code in the templates?

Jade shows just using a script tag directly:

html
  head
    title Example
    script
      if (foo) {
        bar();
      } else {
        baz();
      }

I have not needed it up to now, but I will add the nested "script" syntax for this and the the :javascript one afterwards.

For now, the script needs to be in a separate file served with e.g. serveStaticFiles("./public/") and script(type="text/javascript", src="script.js") is needed in the template.

OK， thanks :) I'll wait for this feature. Sometimes I may need to access D code page attributes in the javascript code, and inline script would make this possible. For filters, :markdown, :coffeescript (as implemented in Scalate's jade) and even customized ones are useful too. Maybe you can create a extension point here for people to plug in their own filter implementations :)

script, style, :css and :javascript work now :). :css and :javascript are not real filters yet, but just simple shortcuts. I put real filter support as a TODO item (the markdown parser would be very useful to have as a filter).
Customized filters unfortunately may be more difficult because they need to run at compile time - so they would have to be somehow passed to the parser as a D template argument. But this would make the interface kind of ugly...
