Can I just {{ foo }} a template? about askama HOT 3 CLOSED

Theoretically in this case the safe should not be necessary since the inner value is itself a template which means it is inherently safe. Unfortunately this is blocked by a lack of support for specialization.

Askama implicitly escapes text, when you do {{ form }}. If you want to suppress that, then use {{ form|safe }}.

However, it sounds like there's more to the question than just that. If so, can you maybe provide some dummy code, to illustrate what you're trying to do?

To give a more complete example. What it sounds like to me, is that you're trying to do something like this:

use askama::Template;

#[derive(Template)]
#[template(source = "<form>Some Form</form>", ext = "html")]
pub struct Form {}

#[derive(Template)]
#[template(source = "Form:\n<br>\n{{ form|safe }}", ext = "html")]
struct Page {
    form: Form,
}

let page = Page { form: Form {} };

println!("{}", page.render().unwrap());

Note the |safe in Page's source. That suppresses escaping the HTML entities. So page.render() results in:

Form:
<br>
<form>Some Form</form>

from askama.

That's exactly what I wanted and works perfectly. Thank you very much!
