Escaping HTML encoded text in autocomplete template?
-
Hi,
Just strugging escaping HTML encoded text in the autocomplete drop down, I am used to blade templates where instead of {{ }} you’d use {!! !!} – doesn’t seem to work here though.
As you can see above, double quotes are being html encoded as is the &.
I’ve tried
{!! data._highlightResult.post_title.value !!}and{% data._highlightResult.post_title.value %}but neither seem to do the trick.The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Hi @the_lar
Couple thoughts/questions.
- Are the
"values indexed that way, or is it only when coming through the Autocomplete UI? - I know we have some spots that use 3 brackets, aka {{{ which would be worth trying here, instead of
{!! !!}
@tw2113 – yes they indexed that way – see below:
The three bracket spots are the default in autocomplete.php already – this is what I’ve got with no changes:
All I need to do
url_decodethe encoded html entities. As I say, in blade this would simply be{!! !!}instead of{{ }}– but I’m not sure what language these templates are using, are they Liquid?-

Yeah so basically there doesn’t seem to be any way to decode html entities then.
Just using
{{ }}instead of the triple version simply encodes the&at the start of"so you end up with Alloy Wheel 20" x 9" 😂And using
<# #>just outputsdata._snippetResult['content'].valuerather than any valueI’ll just have to take a different approach and decode them before I send them to Algolia I guess.
