Using Jade & YAML with templates

I'm trying to use Jade with my templates in Jekyll and it's formatting the YAML into one line. This is my code in jade:

| ---    
| layout: default    
| title: Suljam | Designed with Standards    
| ---    
| {% include header.html %}    
section.whatcanwedo
  h2.feat.wow.fadeIn(data-wow-duration='1s', data-wow-delay='0.5s') What can we do for you buddy?
  img.featured.left(src='assets/img/suljam_3.jpg')
  img.featured.right(src='assets/img/suljam_6.jpg')

But it's out putting like this:

--- layout: default title: Suljam | Designed with Standards --- {% include header.html %}
<section class="whatcanwedo">
  <h2 data-wow-duration="1s" data-wow-delay="0.5s" class="feat wow fadeIn">What can we do for you buddy?</h2><img src="assets/img/suljam_3.jpg" class="featured left" /><img src="assets/img/suljam_6.jpg" class="featured right" />

instead of:

--- 
layout: default 
title: Suljam | Designed with Standards 
--- 
{% include header.html %}
<section class="whatcanwedo">
  <h2 data-wow-duration="1s" data-wow-delay="0.5s" class="feat wow fadeIn">What can we do for you buddy?</h2><img src="assets/img/suljam_3.jpg" class="featured left" /><img src="assets/img/suljam_6.jpg" class="featured right" />

You get the idea I hope. Basically does anyone know how I can get the YAML to format correctly from the Jade compiled into the HTML?

Many thanks

Try this:

:verbatim
    ---
    layout: default
    title: Suljam | Designed with Standards
    ---
    {% include header.html %}

section.whatcanwedo
  h2.feat.wow.fadeIn(data-wow-duration='1s', data-wow-delay='0.5s') What can we do for you buddy?
  img.featured.left(src='assets/img/suljam_3.jpg')
  img.featured.right(src='assets/img/suljam_6.jpg')

hm... and if you'd try to put the YAML in separate file - just these few lines - and just include in Jade?

It worked for me when I needed to include parts of normal HTML file into Jade... worth a shot, I guess :)

Yeah I was thinking this too akak but was hoping on a workaround rather than having another file. Thanks though :)
