Hello, The project that I am working on is a web app written on a custom web server using Go and Go templates. I store all of the templates in a map[string]Template, where the string is the page name. When someone visits a page, the server checks whether that page is in the map, then if so calls a function to fill in a data structure, then executes the appropriate template, passing it the data structure. All was rosy until I was asked to create csv downloads for some of the more complex pages. I cannot use a html/template.Template for those pages, I have to use a text/template.Template for those pages, otherwise the character escaping implemented by html/template creates extra columns in some of the rows. My immediate thought was that since text/template.Template and html/template.Template have identical function lists, I should of course create an interface which would be implemented by both types. However, I have no idea how to create an interface to include arguments and return types of that interface type, such as: func Must(t *Template, err error) *Template func (t *Template) Funcs(funcMap FuncMap) *Template
If I try to use *Template, the compiler gives an error that Template is undefined. If I use my interface name in place of *Template, the compiler gives the error that neither text/template.Template nor html/template.Template implements my interface. Both of these are expected behavior, but of course if I use text/template.Template or html/template.Template in place of *Template, only one of the two packages would implement my interface. Is there a correct way to wrap these two data types (using an interface or otherwise) so that I can deal with either one in the same data structures and functions, or am I stuck with a lot of duplicate code and data structures, with only slight differences beyond which package I'm using?
