20 In contrast with `strings.CountRunes` function, which strips HTML and whitespace before counting runes, `strings.RuneCount` simply counts all the runes in a string. It relies on the Go [`utf8.RuneCountInString`] function.

22 ```
23 {{ "Hello, δΈη" | strings.RuneCount }}
24 <!-- outputs a content length of 9 runes. -->
