I'm sending emails with Go, and I'm parsing both the subject and the HTML body from templates stored in a database.

For the subject I wouldn't want t.Parse() to escape html entities since it isn't HTML, just plain text, but for the body this is exactly the behavior I want.

How do I do both in the same file?

I assume the issue you are facing is the conflicting imports between the identically-named template packages.

In this case, use a named import for one or both packages to access its members via another name in the source file:

package mypackage

import (
    htmltemplate "html/template"
    texttemplate "text/template"
)

Now write code which refers to the template packages as usual, but use the alias names htmltemplate or texttemplate in place of template.
