Please show us a small self-contained Go program that demonstrates the problem. Thanks.

package main

import (
	"os"
	"html/template"
)

const tpl = `<a 
	id1="{{.Name}}"
	id="{{.Name}}"
	onclick="{{.Name}}"
	idonclick1="{{.Name}}"
	asd="{{.Name}}"
>bar</a>`

func main() {
	t, _ := template.New("foo").Parse(tpl)
	t.Execute(os.Stdout, struct{Name string}{"baz"})
}

<a 
	id1="baz"
	id="baz"
	onclick="&#34;baz&#34;"
	idonclick1="baz"
	asd="baz"
>bar</a>

I believe this is working as intended. Changing the type of Name to template.JS resolves this behavior, since it must be explicitly mentioned that the string is a trustworthy JS expression.
