safeURL function doesn't escape + character in a template

[akshaybabloo]

In template safeURL function doesn't escape + character. Example:

Consider the following settings under config.toml:

# config.toml
[params]
  fontFamilyURL = "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Space+Mono:400,700"

I am then trying to use this in an HTML template as:

<!-- baseOf.html -->
{{ .Site.Params.fontFamilyURL | safeURL }}

The above code generates -> https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Space+Mono:400,700 instead of https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Space+Mono:400,700. You can see that + is replaced by +, but when I use safeHTML, I have no such problem.

The issue is something similar to #5236.

I am using Hugo Static Site Generator v0.49/extended windows/amd64 BuildDate: unknown

It's not clear to me what you're asking. The title of this issue doesn't match the content you provided. We need more context and clarity to help.

@moorereason I updated it, is it clear now?

The title essentially says the same thing. What's confusing me is that you say that it doesn't escape + in a template, but then you say that it generates +. I consider that to be escaped.

In any case, I don't think this is a bug. I suspect that you are not using the safeURL function properly. Please search the discussion forums for how to use safeURL properly. If you don't find the answer you need, open a new thread in the forums.
