I'm trying to use HTML in the title prop of my Card component but it just renders the tag so on the site it's <s>X</s> but I want X. Here's the code, my GPT AI assistant isn't competent enough to do it:

 49         href="https://facebook.com/profile"
 50         title="<s>X</s> Facebook"                                                                                                               
 51         body="Banned for hacktivism but not silenced, find me on (ewww) Meta."
 52         target="_blank"
 53       />

Hi @rain belfry. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it seems that you're trying to render HTML inside a prop in your Card component. However, props in Astro (and in most front-end frameworks) treat the input as a string by default, which is why you're seeing the tags rendered as text.

To render HTML inside a prop, you would typically need to use a method to parse the string as HTML. However, this can lead to potential security risks such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, and it's generally not recommended unless you have control over and trust the source of the HTML.

Unfortunately, the knowledge sources do not provide a specific solution for rendering HTML inside a prop in Astro. It's recommended to check the official Astro documentation or reach out to the Astro community for more specific guidance.

As an alternative, you could consider handling the strikethrough effect within the Card component itself, based on a boolean prop or specific string value, rather than passing in HTML. This would be a safer and more controlled way to achieve the effect you're looking for.

Please note that this advice is based on general front-end development practices and the information available in the knowledge sources. For a more accurate solution, please refer to the Astro-specific resources.

@dire pier how do I do this then:

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

Sure, here's a way you could handle the strikethrough effect within the Card component itself, based on a boolean prop:

First, you would add a new prop to your Card component, let's call it strikethroughTitle. This prop would be a boolean that indicates whether the title should be strikethrough or not.

Then, in your Card component, you would conditionally render the title based on the strikethroughTitle prop. If strikethroughTitle is true, you would wrap the title in <s> tags to apply the strikethrough effect. If strikethroughTitle is false, you would render the title as is.

Here's an example of how you could modify your Card component:

---
// Import statements and other component setup code here
const { href, title, body, target, strikethroughTitle } = Astro.props;
---

<a href={href} target={target}>
  <h2>
    {strikethroughTitle ? <s>{title}</s> : title}
  </h2>
  <p>{body}</p>
</a>

And here's how you would use the Card component with the strikethroughTitle prop:

<Card
  href="<https://facebook.com/profile">
  title="X Facebook"
  body="Banned for hacktivism but not silenced, find me on (ewww) Meta."
  target="_blank"
  strikethroughTitle={true}
/>

In this example, because strikethroughTitle is true, the title "X Facebook" would be rendered with a strikethrough effect.

Please note that this is a general example and might need to be adjusted based on the specific implementation of your Card component.

@dire pier yeah but I just wanna strike through X not Facebook...

I see, you want to only strike through a part of the title. In this case, you could pass two separate props for the parts of the title you want to strike through and the parts you don't. Here's how you could modify your Card component:

---
// Import statements and other component setup code here
const {{ href, title, titleStrikethrough, body, target }} = Astro.props;
---

<a href={{href}} target={{target}}>
  <h2>
    <s>{{titleStrikethrough}}</s> {{title}}
  </h2>
  <p>{{body}}</p>
</a>

And here's how you would use the Card component with the title and titleStrikethrough props:

<Card
  href="<https://facebook.com/profile">
  title="Facebook"
  titleStrikethrough="X"
  body="Banned for hacktivism but not silenced, find me on (ewww) Meta."
  target="_blank"
/>

In this example, "X" would be rendered with a strikethrough effect, and "Facebook" would be rendered normally.

Please note that this is a general example and might need to be adjusted based on the specific implementation of your Card component.

@dire pier it's more readable if I do a newline between them, can I use \n or something in the strings?"

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

#

In the context of Astro and JSX, newline characters (\n) within strings are typically not preserved when rendered in the browser. This is because HTML collapses whitespace, including newlines, into a single space when rendering.

If you want to add a visual line break between the strikethrough text and the rest of the title, you could use a <br /> tag in your component:

---
// Import statements and other component setup code here
const {{ href, title, titleStrikethrough, body, target }} = Astro.props;
---

<a href={{href}} target={{target}}>
  <h2>
    <s>{{titleStrikethrough}}</s><br />{{title}}
  </h2>
  <p>{{body}}</p>
</a>

This will render the strikethrough text and the rest of the title on separate lines.

However, please note that using <br /> tags to control layout is generally not recommended in HTML. It would be better to use CSS to control the layout and spacing of your elements. For example, you could wrap each part of the title in a <span> and apply CSS to control the spacing.

As always, please adjust this example based on the specific implementation of your Card component.
