The `Plain` method on a `Page` object renders Markdown and [shortcodes](g) to HTML, then strips the HTML [tags][]. It does not strip HTML [entities][].

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

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