Introduction #
Usage #
Use the safe.URL function to encapsulate a known safe URL or URL substring. Schemes other than the following are considered unsafe:
http:https:mailto:
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.
See the [Go documentation] for details.
Example #
Without a safe declaration:
{{ $href := "irc://irc.freenode.net/#golang" }}
<a href="{{ $href }}">IRC</a>
Hugo renders the above to:
<a href="#ZgotmplZ">IRC</a>
To declare the string as safe:
{{ $href := "irc://irc.freenode.net/#golang" }}
<a href="{{ $href | safeURL }}">IRC</a>
Hugo renders the above to:
<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#golang">IRC</a>
