Summary

This RFC adds two new components to astro, Raw, and Escaped. Both are frontends for existing or to be implemented features

Example

<Raw><>>>><<<SdsdasSd <$%> {let i = 5;}</Raw>

gets compiled to

<>>>><<<SdsdasSd <$%> {let i = 5;}

<Escaped><h1>Yo!</h1></Escaped>

gets compiled to

<h1>Yo!</h1>

Motivation

This makes two astro features more easily accessible.

Detailed design

Raw

• Frontend component for astro-data-raw
• Blocked by compiler/#263

Escaped

• Frontend component for https://github.com/withastro/rfcs/blob/main/active-rfcs/0000-set-html.md
  • Unimplemented RFC
• Possibly possible by using some nifty javascript

Drawbacks

• Adds uneeded complexity
• Not really needed

Alternatives

Just don’t do it.

Unresolved questions

Is Escaped possible using frontmatter?

Incredibly high quality RFC I know.
