If this is for content scraping there are likely easier ways than
translating HTML to Jade only to translate Jade into something usable in
LiveCode.
For example, for many uses HTML content can strip tags as simply as:
set the htmlText of the template field to tSomeHtml
put the text of the templateField into tSomeText
Can you tell us more about the goal you're looking to achieve?
