Generating a script tag containing JavaScript code

[bicycle1885]

I tried to generate a script tag that contains a JavaScript code like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
console.log(1);
</script>

However, I couldn't find a way because script doesn't work as I expected when it takes a Dict argument:

julia> using Hiccup

julia> @tags script
script (generic function with 1 method)

julia> script("console.log(1);")
<script>console.log(1);</script>

julia> script("console.log(1);", Dict(:type=>"text/javascript"))
<script type="text/javascript" class="log"></script>

Is this an intended behavior or a bug?

The first (string) argument is interpreted as a class name; you should be able to replace that with an empty string and put the contents after the dict to get the intended behaviour.

I'll be the first to say that this behaviour is pretty confusing – so we're looking to overhaul the api in future.

Thank you. I'll use raw HTML strings for a while.
