safeHTML INPUT
false

It should not be used for HTML from a third-party, or HTML with unclosed tags or comments.

Given a site-wide config.toml with the following copyright value:

copyright = "© 2015 Jane Doe.  <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\">Some rights reserved</a>."

{{ .Site.Copyright | safeHTML }} in a template would then output:

© 2015 Jane Doe.  <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Some rights reserved</a>.

However, without the safeHTML function, html/template assumes .Site.Copyright to be unsafe and therefore escapes all HTML tags and renders the whole string as plain text:

<p>© 2015 Jane Doe.  &lt;a href=&#34;https://creativecommons.org/licenses by/4.0/&#34;&gt;Some rights reserved&lt;/a&gt;.</p>
