Jade is a templating engine, not a markup language as such.
Personally, I don't understand the persistent popularity of Markdown in the face of a much better alternative like Restructured Text, where the extension story is not an alternative between "hope this flavour of Markdown does what you want" and "just write HTML". Even something simple like tables is not covered by the Markdown "spec".
- mdpm 11y agoyes, but the author's issues with markdown are limitations of a limited markup. markdown is appealing thanks to the lack of verbosity, hence jade - terse, simple, yet extensible. markdown is nigh one-dimensional, your content should fit in a box, and offers little ability to provide semantics. HTML / XML are overly verbose, and painful for novice / non-technical users. a subset of jade solves these eloquently for me.
