Block inside attributes

[ghost]

Hi,

is it possible to declare "block" inside an attribute?

E.g. meta( name='description' content='block descr' )

Or another elegant solution to inject content into attributes of templates?

Are you using mixins or extends?

Extends.

Not currently, It's an interesting idea that might not be totally impossible in v2. What you can do currently is something like:

block variables
  - var descr = 'default description';
meta(name='description' content=descr)

Then in the child template:

extends ./layout.jade

block variables
  - var descr = 'my description';

Nice workaround.

I tried variables before but forgot to declare it inside block.

Thank you!
