Following command gives me the output I want:

$ sed '/^<template.*>/,/</template>/!d;//d' src/components/**/*.vue | html2jade

in that it processes each template containing html into it's pug equivalent.

Would it be possible now to somehow replace the originally found html in all those files, with this now processed output? There is also some other content outside template tags, which should stay as it is, namely some script and style tags.

I believe you can't do this with sed.
It should be possible with awk but hard.
python3 seems more appropriate.

from io import StringIO
from traceback import format_exception_only

PROCESS_COMMAND = ("html2jade",)
TEMPLATE_OPEN_REGEX = re.compile(r"^<template.*>$")

def replace_templates(file_path) :
 out_buffer = StringIO()
 template_buffer = StringIO()

 with open(file_path, "r") as file :
 lines_gen = enumerate(file, 1)
 for (lineno, line) in lines_gen :
 out_buffer.write(line)

 if (TEMPLATE_OPEN_REGEX.match(line)) :
 for (lineno, line) in lines_gen :
 if (TEMPLATE_OPEN_REGEX.match(line)) :
 raise ValueError("nested opening tag on line :d".format(lineno))
 elif (TEMPLATE_CLOSE_REGEX.match(line)) :
 break

 template_buffer.write(line)
 else :
 raise ValueError("tag never closed")

 proc = subprocess.run(
 PROCESS_COMMAND,
 input=template_buffer.getvalue(),
 stdout=subprocess.PIPE,

 out_buffer.write(proc.stdout)
 out_buffer.write(line)

 template_buffer.seek(0)
 template_buffer.truncate()
 elif (TEMPLATE_CLOSE_REGEX.match(line)) :
 raise ValueError("closing tag encountered on line :d, before opening tag".format(lineno))

 with open(file_path, "w") as file :
 file.write(out_buffer.getvalue())

• You seems to ignore any template code on the line of the tag, so my code do not handle this and do a full-line match.


• 
  ValueError is raised if opening and closing template tag are not correctly ordered.


• 
  FileNotFoundError is raised if the .vue file or the sub-process command is not found.


• 
  subprocess.CalledProcessError is raised if the sub-process do not return 0.


• 
  UnicodeDecodeError is raised if the sub-process output non UTF-8 chars.


• The file is not touched if an error occurs.


• The full file output is buffered to RAM.
