	// CSS encapsulates known safe content that matches any of:
	//   1. The CSS3 stylesheet production, such as `p { color: purple }`.
	//   2. The CSS3 rule production, such as `a[href=~"https:"].foo#bar`.
	//   3. CSS3 declaration productions, such as `color: red; margin: 2px`.
	//   4. The CSS3 value production, such as `rgba(0, 0, 255, 127)`.
	// See https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-syntax/#parsing and
	// https://web.archive.org/web/20090211114933/http://w3.org/TR/css3-syntax#style
	//
	// Use of this type presents a security risk:
	// the encapsulated content should come from a trusted source,
	// as it will be included verbatim in the template output.
	CSS string

	// HTML encapsulates a known safe HTML document fragment.
	// It should not be used for HTML from a third-party, or HTML with
	// unclosed tags or comments. The outputs of a sound HTML sanitizer
	// and a template escaped by this package are fine for use with HTML.
	//
	// Use of this type presents a security risk:
	// the encapsulated content should come from a trusted source,
	// as it will be included verbatim in the template output.
	HTML string

	// HTMLAttr encapsulates an HTML attribute from a trusted source,
	// for example, ` dir="ltr"`.
	//
	// Use of this type presents a security risk:
	// the encapsulated content should come from a trusted source,
	// as it will be included verbatim in the template output.
	HTMLAttr string

	// JS encapsulates a known safe EcmaScript5 Expression, for example,
	// `(x + y * z())`.
	// Template authors are responsible for ensuring that typed expressions
	// do not break the intended precedence and that there is no
	// statement/expression ambiguity as when passing an expression like
	// "{ foo: bar() }\n['foo']()", which is both a valid Expression and a
	// valid Program with a very different meaning.
	//
	// Use of this type presents a security risk:
	// the encapsulated content should come from a trusted source,
	// as it will be included verbatim in the template output.
	//
	// Using JS to include valid but untrusted JSON is not safe.
	// A safe alternative is to parse the JSON with json.Unmarshal and then
	// pass the resultant object into the template, where it will be
	// converted to sanitized JSON when presented in a JavaScript context.
	JS string

	// JSStr encapsulates a sequence of characters meant to be embedded
	// between quotes in a JavaScript expression.
	// The string must match a series of StringCharacters:
	//   StringCharacter :: SourceCharacter but not `\` or LineTerminator
	//                    | EscapeSequence
	// Note that LineContinuations are not allowed.
	// JSStr("foo\\nbar") is fine, but JSStr("foo\\\nbar") is not.
	//
	// Use of this type presents a security risk:
	// the encapsulated content should come from a trusted source,
	// as it will be included verbatim in the template output.
	JSStr string

	// URL encapsulates a known safe URL or URL substring (see RFC 3986).
	// A URL like `javascript:checkThatFormNotEditedBeforeLeavingPage()`
	// from a trusted source should go in the page, but by default dynamic
	// `javascript:` URLs are filtered out since they are a frequently
	// exploited injection vector.
	//
	// Use of this type presents a security risk:
	// the encapsulated content should come from a trusted source,
	// as it will be included verbatim in the template output.
	URL string

	// Srcset encapsulates a known safe srcset attribute
	// (see https://w3c.github.io/html/semantics-embedded-content.html#element-attrdef-img-srcset).
	//
	// Use of this type presents a security risk:
	// the encapsulated content should come from a trusted source,
	// as it will be included verbatim in the template output.
