Question: Only info I found was this:

<http://forrst.com/posts/Node_js_Jade_Import_Jade_File-CZW>

I replicated the suggested folder structure (views/partials) But it didn't work, as soon as I put 

```
!=partial('header', {})
!=partial('menu', {})

```

into index.jade, I get a blank screen, the error message I receive from jade is: 

> 
> ReferenceError: ./views/index.jade:3
>  1. 'p index'  
> 
>  2. ''  
> 
>  3. '!=partial(\'header', {})'
> 
> 
> partial is not defined
> 
> 
> 

I'd be very grateful for any help ! (I strongly prefer not to use express.js)

Answer: 
As of August 2012 (possibly earlier) Partials have been removed from Express.

A lot of tutorials are now out of date. It seems that you can replicate much of the partial functionality with include.

Eg.

movies.jade

```
div(id='movies')
  - each movie in movies
    include movie

```

movie.jade

```
h2= movie.title
.description= movie.description

```

HTH
With the latest node/express I get the following movies.jade template to call partials:

```
div(id='movies')
  - each movie in movies
    !=partial('movie', movie)

```

where I have movie.jade in the views directory alongside movies.jade.

movies.jade is called from app.js with:

`res.render('movies', { movies: [{ title: 'Jaws' }, { title: 'Un Chien Andalou' }] });`
