Pass a []byte into a template as the body of a message post on a forum-style web app. In the template, call a method to convert to string and along the way, switch out all newlines for line breaks:
<p>{{.BodyString}}</p>
...
func (p *Post) BodyString() string {
nl := regexp.MustCompile(`
`)
return nl.ReplaceAllString(string(p.Body), `<br>`)
}
What you'll end up with:
paragraphs <br> <br>in <br> <br>this <br> <br>post
I don't want to pass the entire post in with HTML(p.Body), as it represents third party data from potentially untrustworthy sources. Is there a way to whitelist only some tags for formatting purposes using the vanilla Go1 template package?
