## Introduction
{{% include "/_common/functions/go-html-template-package.md" %}}
## Usage
Use the `safe.URL` function to encapsulate a known safe URL or URL substring. Schemes other than the following are considered unsafe:
- `http:`
- `https:`
- `mailto:`
Use of this type presents a security risk: the encapsulated content should come from a trusted source, as it will be included verbatim in the template output.
See the [Go documentation] for details.
## Example
Without a safe declaration:
```go-html-template
{{ $href := "irc://irc.freenode.net/#golang" }}
<a href="{{ $href }}">IRC</a>
```
Hugo renders the above to:
```html
<a href="#ZgotmplZ">IRC</a>
```
> [!note]
> `ZgotmplZ` is a special value that indicates that unsafe content reached a CSS or URL context at runtime.
To declare the string as safe:
```go-html-template
{{ $href := "irc://irc.freenode.net/#golang" }}
<a href="{{ $href | safeURL }}">IRC</a>
```
Hugo renders the above to:
```html
<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#golang">IRC</a>
```
