Slang layout doesn't render the content as HTML

[Zoltán Matók]

Description

When doing...

get "/" do
    render "src/challenge/pages/home.slang", "src/challenge/pages/layouts/main.slang"
end

...the content gets rendered as text, literally <h1>Hello</h1>, instead of actual HTML.
If the layout is written in ECR, it works. (Even if the view remains slang.)

---

main.slang:

html
    body
        =content

home.slang:

h1 Hello

the entire project:

require "./challenge/*"
require "kemal"
require "kilt/slang"

module Challenger
  
    get "/" do
        render "src/challenge/pages/home.slang", "src/challenge/pages/layouts/main.slang"
    end
    
    Kemal.config.port = 6969
    Kemal.run

end

Hi @zolomatok .

This is not Kemal issue.

Difference between single and double equals in Slang (= vs ==)

• = inserts HTML with escaped characters
• == inserts HTML without escaping. It is needed when you have already rendered HTML and you need to insert it to your layout directly.

You should use == in your case.

Thank you very much for your help @mamantoha !
It works. Is there Slang doc I don't know about? :O
This is not mentioned on the GitHub page.

It's not mentioned in README. I've already created a PR to fix this jeromegn/slang#56
