Authenticating a form w/out pug?

Hey everyone, I'm on the express/MonogoDB video course right now and have a form already created with HTML for a separate project. Does anybody know how I would apply the routing methods used in this vid to HTML? Thanks!

At the first glance, it looks like the form is rendered by express, using the pug file.

Rendering occurs when there is no actual html, but some sort of other file which are able to create html. So if you want to use your plain html, you'll need to find another method which is not rendering but simply using the HTML file. I'm pretty confident that you'll find the solution in the Express.JS documentation.
