Why am I seeing ZgotmplZ in my Go HTML template output?

by

“ZgotmplZ” is a special value that indicates that unsafe content reached a
CSS or URL context at runtime. The output of the example will be:

 <img src="#ZgotmplZ">

You can add a safe and attr function to the template funcMap:

package main

import (
    "html/template"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    funcMap := template.FuncMap{
        "attr":func(s string) template.HTMLAttr{
            return template.HTMLAttr(s)
        },
        "safe": func(s string) template.HTML {
            return template.HTML(s)
         },
    }

    template.Must(template.New("Template").Funcs(funcMap).Parse(`
    <option {{  .attr |attr }} >test</option>
        {{.html|safe}}
     `)).Execute(os.Stdout,   map[string]string{"attr":`selected="selected"`,"html":`<option selected="selected">option</option>`})
}

The output will look like:

<option selected="selected" >test</option>
<option selected="selected">option</option>

You may want to define some other functions which can convert string to template.CSS, template.JS, template.JSStr, template.URL etc.
