+ // {{.X}}
+ // ">
+ // Discussion:

+ // <form na<e=...>
+ // <option selected<
+ // Discussion:
+ // This is often due to a typo in an HTML element, but some runes

+ // ErrBranchEnd: "{{if}} branches end in different contexts"
+ // Example:
+ // {{if .C}}<a href="{{end}}{{.X}}
+ // Discussion:
+ // Package html/template statically examines each path through an
+ // {{if}}, {{range}}, or {{with}} to escape any following pipelines.
+ // The example is ambiguous since {{.X}} might be an HTML text node,
+ // or a URL prefix in an HTML attribute. The context of {{.X}} is
+ // used to figure out how to escape it, but that context depends on
+ // the run-time value of {{.C}} which is not statically known.
+ //
+ // The problem is usually something like missing quotes or angle
+ // brackets, or can be avoided by refactoring to put the two contexts
+ // into different branches of an if, range or with. If the problem
+ // is in a {{range}} over a collection that should never be empty,
+ // adding a dummy {{else}} can help.

+ // Executed templates should produce a DocumentFragment of HTML.
+ // Templates that end without closing tags will trigger this error.
+ // Templates that should not be used in an HTML context or that
+ // produce incomplete Fragments should not be executed directly.
+ //
+ // {{define "main"}} <script>{{template "helper"}}</script> {{end}}
+ // {{define "helper"}} document.write(' <div title=" ') {{end}}

+ // "helper" does not produce a valid document fragment, so should

+
+ // ErrNoSuchTemplate: "no such template ..."
+ // Examples:
+ // {{define "main"}}<div {{template "attrs"}}>{{end}}
+ // {{define "attrs"}}href="{{.URL}}"{{end}}
+ // Discussion:
+ // Package html/template looks through template calls to compute the
+ // context.
+ // Here the {{.URL}} in "attrs" must be treated as a URL when called
+ // from "main", but you will get this error if "attrs" is not defined
+ // when "main" is parsed.
+ ErrNoSuchTemplate
+
+ // ErrOutputContext: "cannot compute output context for template ..."
+ // Examples:
+ // {{define "t"}}{{if .T}}{{template "t" .T}}{{end}}{{.H}}",{{end}}
+ // Discussion:
+ // A recursive template does not end in the same context in which it
+ // starts, and a reliable output context cannot be computed.
+ // Look for typos in the named template.
+ // If the template should not be called in the named start context,
+ // look for calls to that template in unexpected contexts.
+ // Maybe refactor recursive templates to not be recursive.

+ ErrPartialCharset
+
+ // ErrPartialEscape: "unfinished escape sequence in ..."
+ // Example:
+ // <script>alert("\{{.X}}")</script>
+ // Discussion:
+ // Package html/template does not support actions following a
+ // backslash.
+ // This is usually an error and there are better solutions; for
+ // example
+ // <script>alert("{{.X}}")</script>
+ // should work, and if {{.X}} is a partial escape sequence such as
+ // "xA0", mark the whole sequence as safe content: JSStr(`\xA0`)
+ ErrPartialEscape
+
+ // ErrRangeLoopReentry: "on range loop re-entry: ..."
+ // Example:
+ // <script>var x = [{{range .}}'{{.}},{{end}}]</script>
+ // Discussion:
+ // If an iteration through a range would cause it to end in a
+ // different context than an earlier pass, there is no single context.
+ // In the example, there is missing a quote, so it is not clear
+ // whether {{.}} is meant to be inside a JS string or in a JS value
+ // context. The second iteration would produce something like
+ //
+ // <script>var x = ['firstValue,'secondValue]</script>

+ // </script>
+ // Discussion:
+ // The example above could produce `var x = 1/-2/i.test(s)...`
+ // in which the first '/' is a mathematical division operator or it
+ // could produce `/-2/i.test(s)` in which the first '/' starts a
+ // regexp literal.
+ // Look for missing semicolons inside branches, and maybe add
