Re: strange tag problem with jade

| I'm the following problem with jade:
| 
| my *.dsl - file seems to work ok, but in the
| resulting HTML-code, the tags are structured like this:
| 
| <table
| ><tr
| ><td
| 
| and so on.

That's a feature, not a bug.  What jade is doing here is trying to
avoid adding whitespace of its own to any of the elements in the
output.  It could do that simply by outputting

<table><tr><td>...

but then you might end up with very long lines instead, plus the
output is harder to read for a human, if any human ever wished to do
so.  Hence the solution of adding a newline just before each `>'.

| The additional CR/LF confuses the browser, I get no table.

Then your browser is broken.  This is valid HTML.

| How to change this behavior?

Don't know, but someone else might.  Try to upgrade your browser
first, if at all possible.
