# Expug
> Indented shorthand HTML templates for Elixir
Expug is a template language based on [Pug][] (formerly known as [Jade][]).
It lets you write HTML as indented shorthand, inspired by Haml, Slim, Pug/Jade, and so on.

end
```

## Syntax
Use CSS-like selectors for elements, and express your nesting through indentations.
```jade
ul.links
li
a(href="/") This is a link
```
