OT: Converting existing html to Jade

[cscade]

This is offtopic, but I'm curious and don't know where else to ask. Is
there a command line tool to convert existing (well formed) html to
Jade? I would like to start integrating jade/bin into some of my non-
express projects, and manually converting all my html will be time
consuming to say the least.

I looked into scalate, but was unable to to get it to operate on OSX
10.6.

I would like to add something about your question. Doesn't exist a template wicket like? So I don't need to do any conversion at all?

Wicket like is:

<p wicket:id="label">[this will be changed dinamically]</p>

and when wicket template is applied it is changed for something like:

<p>This is the real text</p>

Thus I don't need any conversion at all! This is quite simple.

For me, the advantage of Jade isn't just that it provides "live templating". What makes it worthwhile for me is speed of page design. I can bang out Jade by hand MUCH faster than HTML by hand, simply because Jade essentially contains zero excess markup.

You only need to tell Jade exactly what you want, and all the dirty work of nesting, closing, etc is done for you. Add to that the amazing power of inline arbitrary JS when paired with express, and you have something that is far more powerful than [bracketed] find and replace.
