 Errors
 
-This section describes the errors returned by EscapeSet. Each error is
-illustrated by an example that triggers the error, followed by an explanation
-of the problem.
+See the documentation of ErrorCode for details.
 
-Error: "... appears in an ambiguous URL context"
-Example:
-  <a href="
-     {{if .C}}
-       /path/
-     {{else}}
-       /search?q=
-     {{end}}
-     {{.X}}
-  ">
-Discussion:
-  {{.X}} is in an ambiguous URL context since, depending on {{.C}}, it may be
-  either a URL suffix or a query parameter.
-  Moving {{.X}} into the condition removes the ambiguity:
-  <a href="{{if .C}}/path/{{.X}}{{else}}/search?q={{.X}}">
-
-
-Error: "... appears inside a comment"
-Example:
-*/
-//  <!-- {{.X}} -->
-//  <script>/* {{.X}} */</script>
-//  <style>/* {{.X}} */</style>
-/*
-Discussion:
-  {{.X}} appears inside a comment. There is no escaping convention for
-  comments. To use IE conditional comments, inject the
-  whole comment as a type string (see below).
-  To comment out code, break the {{...}}.
-
-Error: "{{if}} branches end in different contexts"
-Example:
-  {{if .C}}<a href="{{end}}{{.X}}
-Discussion:
-  EscapeSet statically examines each possible path when it encounters a {{if}},
-  {{range}}, or {{with}} to escape any following pipelines. The example is
-  ambiguous since {{.X}} might be an HTML text node, or a URL prefix in an
-  HTML attribute. EscapeSet needs to understand the context of {{.X}} to escape
-  it, but that depends on the run-time value of {{.C}}.
-
-  The problem is usually something like missing quotes or angle brackets, or
-  can be avoided by refactoring to put the two contexts into different
-  branches of an if, range or with. Adding an {{else}} might help.
-
-  First, look for a bug in your template. Missing quotes or '>' can trigger
-  this error.
-
-     {{if .C}}<div ... class="foo>{{end}}  <- No quote after foo
-
-  Second, try refactoring your template.
-
-     {{if .C}}<script>alert({{end}}{{.X}}{{if .C}})</script>{{end}}
-
-     ->
-
-     {{if .C}}<script>alert({{.X}})</script>{{else}}{{.X}}{{end}}
-
-  Third, check for {{range}}s that have no {{else}}
-
-    <a href="/search
-      {{range $i, $v := .}}
-        {{if $i}}&{{else}}?{{end}}
-        v={{$v}}
-      {{end}}
-      &x={{.X}}
-      ">
-
-  looks good, but if {{.}} is empty then the URL is /search&x=...
-  where {{.X}} is not guaranteed to be in a URL query.
-  EscapeSet cannot prove which {{range}} collections are never non-empty, so
-  add an {{else}}
-
-    <a href="{{range ...}}...{{end}}&x={{X}}">
-
-    ->
-
-    <a href="{{range ...}}...{{else}}?{{end}}&x={{.X}}">
-
-  Fourth, contact the mailing list. You may have a useful pattern that
-  EscapeSet does not yet support, and we can work with you.
-
-
-Error: "... ends in a non-text context: ..."
-Examples:
-  <div
-  <div title="no close quote>
-  <script>f()
-Discussion:
-  EscapeSet assumes the ouput is a DocumentFragment of HTML.
-  Templates that end without closing tags will trigger this warning.
-  Templates that produce incomplete Fragments should not be named
-  in the call to EscapeSet.
-
-
-If you have a helper template in your set that is not meant to produce a
-  document fragment, then do not pass its name to EscapeSet(set, ...names).
-
-    {{define "main"}} <script>{{template "helper"}}</script> {{end}}
-    {{define "helper"}} document.write(' <div title=" ') {{end}}
-
-  "helper" does not produce a valid document fragment, though it does
-  produce a valid JavaScript Program.
-
-"must specify names of top level templates"
-
-  EscapeSet does not assume that all templates in a set produce HTML.
-  Some may be helpers that produce snippets of other languages.
-  Passing in no template names is most likely an error, so EscapeSet(set) will
-  panic.
-  If you call EscapeSet with a slice of names, guard it with a len check:
-
-    if len(names) != 0 {
-      set, err := EscapeSet(set, ...names)
-    }
-
-Error: "no such template ..."
-Examples:
-   {{define "main"}}<div {{template "attrs"}}>{{end}}
-   {{define "attrs"}}href="{{.URL}}"{{end}}
-Discussion:
-  EscapeSet looks through template calls to compute the context.
-  Here the {{.URL}} in "attrs" must be treated as a URL when called from "main",
-  but if "attrs" is not in set when EscapeSet(&set, "main") is called, this
-  error will arise.
-
-Error: "on range loop re-entry: ..."
-Example:
-  {{range .}}<p class={{.}}{{end}}
-Discussion:
-  If an iteration through a range would cause it to end in
-  a different context than an earlier pass, there is no single context.
-  In the example, the <p> tag is missing a '>'.
-  EscapeSet cannot tell whether {{.}} is meant to be an HTML class or the
-  content of a broken <p> element and complains because the second iteration
-  would produce something like
-
-    <p class=foo<p class=bar
-
-Error: "unfinished escape sequence in ..."
-Example:
-  <script>alert("\{{.X}}")</script>
-Discussion:
-  EscapeSet does not support actions following a backslash.
-  This is usually an error and there are better solutions; for
-  our example
-    <script>alert("{{.X}}")</script>
-  should work, and if {{.X}} is a partial escape sequence such as
-  "xA0", give it the type ContentTypeJSStr and include the whole
-  sequence, as in
-    {`\xA0`, ContentTypeJSStr}
-
-Error: "unfinished JS regexp charset in ..."
-Example:
-    <script>var pattern = /foo[{{.Chars}}]/</script>
-Discussion:
-  EscapeSet does not support interpolation into regular expression literal
-  character sets.
-
-Error: "ZgotmplZ"
-Example:
-  <img src="{{.X}}">
-  where {{.X}} evaluates to `javascript:...`
-Discussion:
-  "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">
-  If the data can be trusted, giving the string type XXX will exempt
-  it from filtering.
