```go-html-template
{{ $s := "An *emphasized* word" }}
{{ $s | .RenderString }} → An <em>emphasized</em> word
```

This method takes an optional map of options:

display
: (`string`) Specify either `inline` or `block`. If `inline`, removes surrounding `p` tags from short snippets. Default is `inline`.

markup
: (`string`) Specify a [markup identifier] for the provided markup. Default is the `markup` front matter value, falling back to the value derived from the page's file extension.

Render with the default markup renderer:

```go-html-template
{{ $s := "An *emphasized* word" }}
{{ $s | .RenderString }} → An <em>emphasized</em> word

{{ $opts := dict "display" "block" }}
{{ $s | .RenderString $opts }} → <p>An <em>emphasized</em> word</p>
```

Render with [Pandoc]:

```go-html-template
{{ $s := "H~2~O" }}

{{ $opts := dict "markup" "pandoc" }}
{{ $s | .RenderString $opts }} → H<sub>2</sub>O

{{ $opts := dict "display" "block" "markup" "pandoc" }}
{{ .RenderString $opts $s }} → <p>H<sub>2</sub>O</p>
```
