> **Finally a fully-functional, complete and clean port of the Jade language to PHP**
>
> *— Abraham Lincoln*

---

The Tale Jade Template Engine brings the popular and powerful Templating-Language [Jade for Node.js](http://jade-lang.com) to PHP!

Tale Jade is the first complete and most powerful Jade implementation in PHP.

---

Since the official implementation of Jade has been renamed to [PugJS](http://pugjs.org), Tale Jade has been renamed to **Tale Pug**!

You can still use this implementation freely, but this repository won't receive updates anymore.

You can find all documentation over at the Pug Repository.
