Make template.Execute write output to a string

[Sankar P]

Hi,

How do I make template.Execute write the generated html to a string
instead of a Writer object ? Is there a StringWriter or some such
class that I can make use of ? If I have to write into some other
writer and then read from it, what writer should I use best for this
scenario ?

Thanks.

Thank you a lot everybody. It works.

For future reference of anyone having the same problem, the code that I've used:

var doc bytes.Buffer
t.Execute(&doc, survey)
s := doc.String()

Thanks.

It will work even better if you check for an error from t.Execute.

hey, 

I looked at this code as it may help me. What is survey here? I mean - i have my template in t that should transfer content to the doc buffer, why do I need the survey?
