I am beginning my journey down the path of node (following the rolling with mongo tutorial), and have written the following jade file

extends layout
block content
  h1= title
  form( method="post")
    div
      div
        span Title :
        input(type="text", name="title", id="editArticleTitle")
      div
        span Body :
        textarea(name="body", rows=20, id="editArticleBody)// <--- This line!
      div#editArticleSubmit
        input(type="submit", value="Send")

I get The end of the string was reached with no closing bracket found. ing out of the jade character parser. It blames the line that is pointed to in the above code. It's certainly possible that I'm missing a bracket, but I'm not seeing where it might be.

Here's the stack trace:

The end of the string was reached with no closing bracket found.

• 3 textarea(name="body", rows=20, id="editArticleBody) You're missing a closing double quote on the id attribute. id="editArticleBody" – c.P.u1 Commented Sep 18, 2013 at 5:14
• ARG! I need to get some syntax highlighting. – Peter Klipfel Commented Sep 18, 2013 at 15:29
• What would be even cooler is if the error gave you a line number :-) – James M. Lay Commented Jan 10, 2015 at 20:44
