Grav: Inline twig function stops working after upgrade to 1.4

[Magalex2x14]

Hello!
Perhaps I'm missing something in the 1.4 changelog, but with 1.3 the following construction is worked:
Feel free to **[contact us](mailto:{{"[email protected]"|safe_email}})**

This construction throws Grav 1.4 to 500 error with text "Unexpected character "&"".
Sorry for bad English.

P.S. it is a modular page

think this relates to an update in Parsedown to address XSS vulnerabilities: https://github.com/erusev/parsedown/releases/tag/1.7.0

This escapes & in markdown causing an error. twig_first: true doesn't help either as that will output the & which markdown then proceeds to escape again.

[rhukster]

I think the only way around this new markdown security fix, is to explicity use the twig with HTML:

<strong><a href="mailto:{{"[email protected]"|safe_email}}">contact us</a></strong>

[rhukster]

Interestingly if you render the variable first it doesn't render the markdown at all:

{% set safemail = "[email protected]"|safe_email %}

**[contact us](mailto:{{ safemail }})**

<strong><a href="mailto:{{ safemail }}">contact us</a></strong>

@rhukster After updating from 1.3.10 to 1.4.7 I get another error:

Unknown "safe_email" filter in "__string_template__
35c8104ef025a6fba0efdb87648d33021c0690da522173a2de55b1bee351a5b7" at line 1.

Screen:

I use this filter with process: twig: true in lines:

text: '{{''[email protected]''|safe_email}}'
icon: envelope-o
link: '{{''mailto:[email protected]''|safe_email}}'

[rhukster]

try this:

text: '{{"[email protected]"|safe_email}}'

don't use single quotes, use double quotes...

Does this imply that it is now impossible to use twig with markdown?

[mahagr]

Nope, they work just fine, you just need to use the correct syntax.

[ikogan]

Apologies, I discovered that my problem is a result of an interaction with the smartypants plugin.
