Hi!
I was looking for a way to place HTML within a variable.
E.g.:
`title = "Thisisaverylongword & whichneedstobreaksomewhere".`
Right now Hugo is rendering `"&"` instead of the &-sign.
Is there a workaround?
Thanks a lot!

Inside the template you could pipe your variable to the `html` template function. E.g.
```
{{ .Params.title | html }}
```

Out of curiosity, is there a difference between `html` and [`safeHTML`](http://gohugo.io/templates/functions/#safehtml)?
