Go template.ExecuteTemplate include html

Question

I have followed this tutorial: http://golang.org/doc/articles/wiki/final.go and have slightly modified it for my needs/wants. The problem is I would like to support HTML in the templates. I realize this is a security risk but it's not a concern at the moment. The result of a page render: ```

``` Let me explain a little bit of the code: ``` type Page struct { Title string Body []byte } ``` The data I would like to have HTML is stored in `Page.Body`. This is type `[]byte` which means I can't (or can I?) run `html/template.HTML(Page.Body)` as that function expects a string. I have this which pre-renders the templates: ``` var ( templates = template.Must(template.ParseFiles("tmpl/edit.html", "tmpl/view.html")) ) ``` And the actual `ExecuteTemplate` looks like this: ``` err := templates.ExecuteTemplate(w, tmpl+".html", p) ``` Where w is `w http.ResponseWriter`, tmpl is `tmpl string`, and p is `p *Page` Finally my `'view.html'` (template) looks like th…

Accepted Answer

Convert your `[]byte` or `string` to type `template.HTML` (documented here)

```
p.Body = template.HTML(s) // where s is a string or []byte
```

Then, in your template, just:

```
{{.Body}}
```

It will be printed without escaping.

EDIT

In order to be able to include HTML in you page's body you need to change the `Page` type declaration:

```
type Page struct {
    Title string
    Body  template.HTML
}
```

then assign to it.
