Unable to add Excerpt using Jade

[amandeepmittal]

//- excerpt

• function excerpt(content) return content.split("")[0]; -}

shows syntax error for '-' (hyphen) and if I remove hyphen shows syntax error for '}' end curly brace.

[chharvey]

did you mean this?

//- excerpt
- function excerpt(content) return content.split("<!-- more -->")[0]; -}

If so, I see 2 syntax errors:

1. no opening curly brace before the word return
2. extraneous hyphen immediately before the closing curly brace

[amandeepmittal]

I certainly did. However, it does not looks as confusing as your emoji sounds. Also, the issue was solved by myself months back so I am closing it now. The curly brace was missing before return.
