Date Rendering in meta

support
1

When I view my source code,

<meta name="article:published_time" content="{{ .Params.Date.Format "2006-01-02T09:04:05-07:00" }}">

is rendered as

<meta name="article:published_time" content="2022-11-23T09:00:00&#43;03:00">

Is the - sign being converted to &#43; expected by default? Or can it be prevented?

Go’s html/template package is escaping an attribute value, as designed.

Let’s tell the template that the attribute value is safe:

<meta name="article:published_time" {{ printf "content=%q" (.Date.Format "2006-01-02T09:04:05-07:00") | safeHTMLAttr }}>

Thank you! That solves it.
