copied!<p>Well I'm trying to get into Node.js / Express.js - however I've been having a few issue going through the screencast, the first issue, now resolved, was pretty obvious when it was spotted (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5843850/express-js-node-js-jade-vim">Express.js, Node.js Jade vim</a>).</p> <p>However, I'm now getting the following errors:</p> <pre> Express 500 SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier * at Object.Function (unknown source) * at Object.compile (/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/jade/0.10.6/package/lib/jade.js:230:10) * at ServerResponse._render (/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/express/2.3.2/package/lib/view.js:368:22) * at ServerResponse.render (/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/express/2.3.2/package/lib/view.js:234:17) * at Object.

I'm following the second tutorial on here: <a href="http://expressjs.com/screencasts.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://expressjs.com/screencasts.html</a></p> <p>My indentation:</p> <pre> [indent] - [indent] each user in users [indent][indent] li= [indent] user.name </pre>
