You should wrap the string in an HTMLAttr, which was designed for text that gets injected in between angle brackets. Per the documentation:

https://golang.org/pkg/html/template/#HTMLAttr

HTMLAttr encapsulates an HTML attribute from a trusted source, for example,  dir="ltr".

Use of this type presents a security risk: the encapsulated content should come from a trusted source, as it will be included verbatim in the template output.
