func encodeJSON(data interface{}) template.JS {
	
	a, err := json.Marshal(data)
	
	if err != nil { panic(err) }

	return template.JS(a)
}

// code for rendering ELEMENT

func (ele *ELEMENT) Render() ([]byte, error) {

	// init map of functions available to use within delimiters

	if funcMap == nil {
		funcMap = template.FuncMap{
			"divideFF":				divideFF,
			"percentageFF":			percentageFF,
			"percentageIF":			percentageIF,
			"encodeJSON":			encodeJSON,
		}
	}

when executing only the encodeJSON function I get this: template: x:19: function "encodeJSON" not defined

all others work fine, and I checked the correct code is in my gopath.

please advise... I had the encodeJSON func returning a string before but it didn't work either

Since, I have made 2 more float-to-int functions and they work fine.

To solve this I'm having to pre-marshal my json before I execute the template.

Please if anyone knows why it doesn't like JSON encoding functions in the templates, let me know

Where is the code for parsing your templates and apply the FuncMap?
