Given a site configuration that contains this menu entry:
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
[[menus.main]]
name = "IRC"
url = "irc://irc.freenode.net/#golang"
{{< /code-toggle >}}
Attempting to use the `url` value directly in an attribute:
```go-html-template
{{ range site.Menus.main }}
<a href="{{ .URL }}">{{ .Name }}</a>
{{ end }}
```
Will produce:
```html
<a href="#ZgotmplZ">IRC</a>
```
`ZgotmplZ` is a special value, inserted by Go's [template/html] package, that indicates that unsafe content reached a CSS or URL context.
To indicate that the HTML attribute is safe:
```go-html-template
{{ range site.Menus.main }}
<a {{ printf "href=%q" .URL | safeHTMLAttr }}>{{ .Name }}</a>
{{ end }}
```
{{% note %}}
As demonstrated above, you must pass the HTML attribute name _and_ value through the function. Applying `safeHTMLAttr` to the attribute value has no effect.
