The `Plain` method on a `Page` object renders Markdown and [shortcodes] to HTML, then strips the HTML [tags]. It does not strip HTML [entities]. The plain content does not include front matter.

To prevent Go's [html/template] package from escaping HTML entities, pass the result through the [`htmlUnescape`] function.

```go-html-template
{{ .Plain | htmlUnescape }}
```
