I have markdown content, onto which I apply `replaceRE` with HTML replacement in my layout/\*.html.
If I apply `safeHTML`, then the markdown is rendered literally.
If I apply `markdownify`, then ``.
Whelp!
What should I do to safely and simultaneously render my markdown and parse my HTML (short of enabling Goldmark unsafe rendering)?
Thanks,
Henry

Please provide an example, but if you’re mixing HTML with markdown and rendering the result…
```plaintext
{{ " **foo**" | replaceRE `foo` `bar` | .Page.RenderString }}
```
… you need to do this in your site configuration:
```plaintext
[markup.goldmark.renderer]
unsafe = true
```
It’s not unsafe if _you_ control the content.

Thank you, this is really helpful!
I have ended up applying `split` to the string, then applying `replaceRE` and `safeHTML` to the different list elements, this way I can keep the Goldmark safe. I’m building a Hugo CMS for my users, as I couldn’t find one I was happy with, and it has to be baby proof.
