I have a simple Go HTML template which contains HTML conditional comments:
package main
import (
"html/template"
"os"
)
var body = `<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<!--[if !IE]><!--><script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.0.3.min.js"></script><!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if gte IE 9]><script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.0.3.min.js"></script><![endif]-->
<!--[if lt IE 9]><script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script><![endif]-->
</head>
</html>`
func main() {
tmp := template.Must(template.New("tmp").Parse(body))
tmp.Execute(os.Stdout, nil)
}
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.0.3.min.js"></script>
</head>
</html>
Why does html/template remove those conditional comments after compiling?
