// 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 comes from a trusted source, use content types to exempt it

// 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}}">
ErrAmbigContext
// ErrBadHTML: "expected space, attr name, or end of tag, but got ...",
// "... in unquoted attr", "... in attribute name"
// Example:
// <a href = /search?q=foo>
// <href=foo>
// <form na<e=...>
// <option selected<
// Discussion:
// This is often due to a typo in an HTML element, but some runes
// are banned in tag names, attribute names, and unquoted attribute
// values because they can tickle parser ambiguities.
// Quoting all attributes is the best policy.
ErrBadHTML
// ErrBranchEnd: "{{if}} branches end in different contexts"
// Example:
// {{if .C}}<a href="{{end}}{{.X}}
// Discussion:
// Package html/template statically examines each path through an
// {{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. The context of {{.X}} is
// used to figure out how to escape it, but that context depends on
// the run-time value of {{.C}} which is not statically known.
//
// 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. If the problem
// is in a {{range}} over a collection that should never be empty,
// adding a dummy {{else}} can help.
ErrBranchEnd
// ErrEndContext: "... ends in a non-text context: ..."
// Examples:
// <div
// <div title="no close quote>
// <script>f()
// Discussion:
// Executed templates should produce a DocumentFragment of HTML.
// Templates that end without closing tags will trigger this error.
// Templates that should not be used in an HTML context or that
// produce incomplete Fragments should not be executed directly.
//
// {{define "main"}} <script>{{template "helper"}}</script> {{end}}
// {{define "helper"}} document.write(' <div title=" ') {{end}}
//
// "helper" does not produce a valid document fragment, so should
// not be Executed directly.
ErrEndContext
// ErrNoSuchTemplate: "no such template ..."
// Examples:
// {{define "main"}}<div {{template "attrs"}}>{{end}}
// {{define "attrs"}}href="{{.URL}}"{{end}}
// Discussion:
// Package html/template looks through template calls to compute the
// context.
// Here the {{.URL}} in "attrs" must be treated as a URL when called
// from "main", but you will get this error if "attrs" is not defined
// when "main" is parsed.
ErrNoSuchTemplate
// ErrOutputContext: "cannot compute output context for template ..."
// Examples:
// {{define "t"}}{{if .T}}{{template "t" .T}}{{end}}{{.H}}",{{end}}
// Discussion:
// A recursive template does not end in the same context in which it
// starts, and a reliable output context cannot be computed.
// Look for typos in the named template.
// If the template should not be called in the named start context,
// look for calls to that template in unexpected contexts.
// Maybe refactor recursive templates to not be recursive.
ErrOutputContext
// ErrPartialCharset: "unfinished JS regexp charset in ..."
// Example:
// <script>var pattern = /foo[{{.Chars}}]/</script>
// Discussion:
// Package html/template does not support interpolation into regular
// expression literal character sets.
ErrPartialCharset
// ErrPartialEscape: "unfinished escape sequence in ..."
// Example:
// <script>alert("\{{.X}}")</script>
// Discussion:
// Package html/template does not support actions following a
// backslash.
// This is usually an error and there are better solutions; for
// example
// <script>alert("{{.X}}")</script>
// should work, and if {{.X}} is a partial escape sequence such as
// "xA0", mark the whole sequence as safe content: JSStr(`\xA0`)
ErrPartialEscape
// ErrRangeLoopReentry: "on range loop re-entry: ..."
// Example:
// <script>var x = [{{range .}}'{{.}},{{end}}]</script>
// 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, there is missing a quote, so it is not clear
// whether {{.}} is meant to be inside a JS string or in a JS value
// context. The second iteration would produce something like
//
// <script>var x = ['firstValue,'secondValue]</script>
ErrRangeLoopReentry
// ErrSlashAmbig: '/' could start a division or regexp.
// Example:
// <script>
// {{if .C}}var x = 1{{end}}
// /-{{.N}}/i.test(x) ? doThis : doThat();
// </script>
// Discussion:
// The example above could produce `var x = 1/-2/i.test(s)...`
// in which the first '/' is a mathematical division operator or it
// could produce `/-2/i.test(s)` in which the first '/' starts a
// regexp literal.
// Look for missing semicolons inside branches, and maybe add
// parentheses to make it clear which interpretation you intend.
ErrSlashAmbig
// ErrPredefinedEscaper: "predefined escaper ... disallowed in template"
// Example:
// <div class={{. | html}}>Hello<div>
// Discussion:
// Package html/template already contextually escapes all pipelines to
// produce HTML output safe against code injection. Manually escaping
// pipeline output using the predefined escapers "html" or "urlquery" is
// unnecessary, and may affect the correctness or safety of the escaped
// pipeline output in Go 1.8 and earlier.
//
// In most cases, such as the given example, this error can be resolved by
// simply removing the predefined escaper from the pipeline and letting the
// contextual autoescaper handle the escaping of the pipeline. In other
// instances, where the predefined escaper occurs in the middle of a
// pipeline where subsequent commands expect escaped input, e.g.
// {{.X | html | makeALink}}
// where makeALink does
// return `<a href="`+input+`">link</a>`
// consider refactoring the surrounding template to make use of the
// contextual autoescaper, i.e.
// <a href="{{.X}}">link</a>
//
// To ease migration to Go 1.9 and beyond, "html" and "urlquery" will
// continue to be allowed as the last command in a pipeline. However, if the
// pipeline occurs in an unquoted attribute value context, "html" is
// disallowed. Avoid using "html" and "urlquery" entirely in new templates.
