Since compilers often take options, Jade has a syntax for passing options to filters. The syntax is the same as specifying attributes for tags, but with an exception.

For example, if we pass the minify option to the Stylus filter, the output is minified, rather than pretty-printed, as it was in the previous example:

:stylus(minify=true)
  p
    color red
  b
    font-weight bold
    color blue

  p{color:#f00}b{font-weight:bold;color:#00f}
