pug - What are the pros and cons of both Jade and EJS for Node.js templating? -


jade versus ejs, pros , cons of each , purposes each designed for?

are there any other express-compatible template engines , why?

i used jade before. nice thing jade have shorter syntax means can type faster. block in jade pretty powerful can me lot when dealing complex html code.

on other hand, hard simple stuff in jade, thing adding classes div based on simple if condition. need put 

- if (isadmin)   div.admin.user - else   div.user

jade don't differentiate between tags , variables make code confusing (at least me)

a(href='/user/' + user.id)= user.name

jade not designer-friendly. designer friends give me html , css (they switched less still want use html), , reason if use jade need convert html jade. in jade, need use indentations, if html structure gets complicated, code horrible (especially tables). sometimes, don't know level at

table   thead     tr       td                   img     tr       td   tbody     tr       td

recently, made switch ejs , happy far. close pure html , use same syntax of frontend template engine using (underscore template). must easier ejs. don't have conversion when receiving html templates designer friend. have replace dynamic parts variables passed expressjs. stuff make me crazy when using jade solved in ejs

<div class="<%= isadmin? 'admin': '' %> user"></div>

and can know what ejs 

<a href="/user/<%= user.id %>"><%= user.name %></a>

if miss short syntax of jade (like me) can combine zen-coding , ejs can speed progress in general. performance, don't see differences

however, ejs not powerful jade, doesn't have blocks default (this guy implemented block feature ejs https://github.com/randometc/ejs-locals)

so, totally depend on pick whatever makes comfortable. if going use template engine frontend me, it's better if use same thing both sides

update 16 december 2013: recently, have switched ejs swig (which has similar concept of jinja2 in python world). main reason lack of block in ejs of ejs-locals. swig using plain html templates , lot of cool features template engine should have example filters , tags ejs doesn't have

i have detailsview control on page used edit various fields of record, works in respect. i looking way add 1 column (and if works, why not more) right, absolutely read-only, show same fields of record comparison purposes. i aware there no obvious way such thing out of box detailsview . have looked other controls (transposed gridview , recommended formview , listview ), nothing satisfies. have special data binding setup using detailsview , can't out of without losing features. anyone on how "hack in" additional columns (for display only) on detailsview ? the solution have now, use second detailsview , visible set false in aspx. in code, make sure databind hidden detailsview hosts data third column first, initial detailsview named itemdetails . and in item created event, pass third column html rendering of hidden controls (in last code block) : protected void itemdetails_itemcreated(object sender, eventargs e) { if (dataite
