Dynamic content based on query params

[dgarcia360]

Requirement

We have a requests from different doc project for a dynamic page:
Take a URL like:
docs.scylladb.com/?node=x&user=y

And use it in the doc like:
"As a user Y you take the address of X and ..."

Implementation

The notation to write a substitution in the page's source code could look like:

"as a user ${ Y:developer} you take the address ..."

So, if the user does not provide a query param, the page will render a default value (developer) instead of ${Y}.

We need to make sure that no one can inject custom JS snippets or HTML tags like links to prevent others from injecting redirections or other malicious code.

[tzach]

"as a user ${ Y:developer} you take the address ..."

Likely, I would want to use this substitution for the entire page (maybe not always)

We need to make sure that no one can inject custom JS snippets or HTML tags like links to prevent others injecting redirections or other malicious code.

Good point
