I'm playing around with Node.js and have connected to my mysql-database and are fetching some blog-records, but the contents are decoded html in the db. I can't seem to encode. I've tried it in the controller (i'm using express), and are trying it in the jade-view. Actually i have not a clue about best practices, but are anyway hacking through something. Some help would be appreciated.

In my index.jade: 

var StringDecoder = require('string_decoder').StringDecoder;
var decoder = new StringDecoder('utf8');


extends layout

The problem lies somewhere with Jade (but where?):

From controller: 

 res.render('index', { title: '<i>Express</i>', bloglist : rows });

The html tags is not showing correctly: 

<i>Express</i>


block content
  h1= title
  p Welcome to #{title}

     div
      for blog in bloglist
        h3 #{blog.Title}
         p #{decoder.write(blog.Text)}
