Research direction
Start by reproducing the error from base.tmpl at line 13 through frontend.NewServer and renderErrorPage. Trace the Go template escaping behavior for the meta element's content attribute; done means a dynamic Description renders in the requested meta tag without the reported escaping error while preserving safe HTML handling.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
<meta name="Description" content="{{.Description}}">
When dynamically setting the content attribute of a meta tag I get the following error.
Critical: frontend.NewServer: NewServer(...): s.renderErrorPage(http.StatusInternalServerError, nil): html/template:base.tmpl:13:36: cannot escape action {{.Description}}: actions must not occur in the "content" attribute value context of a "meta" element
This tag is useful for setting the description of a page in search results or link summary text for applications like slack and I think should be considered safe.
