using html/template for SVG documents

[Manlio Perillo]

Hi.

I'm trying to use html/template for the generation of SVG documents.

However SVG is an XML application, and it seems hmtl/template does not support XML.

The following template:

var svg = `

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>

<svg width="auto" height="auto" version="1.1"

     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

</svg>

`

generates

&lt;?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>

<svg width="auto" height="auto" version="1.1"

     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

</svg>

How hard is to modify html/template to support XML and friends?

Thanks  Manlio Perillo

I think the existing template stuff should work fine,

here are two examples:

using html/template:

using text/template:

alternatively, there's also https://godoc.org/github.com/ajstarks/svgo
which provides a nice API to generate SVG documents.
