Pug breaks build if reference to host page is made

[djr319]

If a pug file contains an anchor link to the calling file, the build will fail. Presumably because of a circular dependency.

This also means that "hash links" <a href="thispage.html#section2"> will break the build as well.

Desired behaviour: Build completes successfully, with functioning hash links, and self-referencing anchors. As an aside: The dev server will give the desired behaviour.

I'm re-visiting this problem. I never did find a solution. Seems like Pug is just not working for me.

I followed the example on https://parceljs.org/languages/pug/ , except that I don't have a .pugrc file.

Any help appreciated.
