There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm fine with this! Note there's a warning on startup:
npx express-generator
warning: the default view engine will not be jade in future releases
warning: use `--view=jade' or `--help' for additional options
But the commit history for the generator shows the warning's been added 10 years ago, so let's continue with this for now!
Thank you!

Thanks, yes I'm aware. That's why I added "notably Pug (formerly "Jade"),". The express generator is not well maintained but it is better than getting our readers to start from scratch. |

Express have no useful links anymore to template engines other than the main ones - Pug, EJS, Moustache. I've mirrored this by listing those main libraries and referring to them as "notable".
I'm relatively happy with this. The original doc assumed you might have a strong preference for a particular templating engine, but in fact most support fairly similar syntax and concepts. Three is more than enough to list and people can search if they want to find if their preferred engine is supported.
