Limit amount of articles with a loop

Question

On my index page I wanna give out two seperate lists of articles (I wouldn't mind using the pagination plugin by the way), and I want to list the last 5 in each "category". But I have no idea how I can count up in the loop.

I already tried

#{news-loop} = #{news-loop} + 1

but that did not work.

- var news-loop = 0
block content
  section.work.index
    h2 Arbeiten
    a.archive(href='/arbeiten') Übersicht
    ul
      each article in articles
        if article.metadata.work
          li
            h3
              a(href=article.url)= article.title

Normal Jade iteration should accomplish this. The issue with your code is you cannot have hyphens in variable names.

You could limit the amount of elements passed to the each loop:

each article in articles.slice(0, 5)

however it seems to me this kind of data processing should better happen before the view is generated.
