How do I convert a Tendril<UTF8> to &str or String?

Question

I'm using HTML5ever, and I'm trying to put attributes into a Vec<(String, String>) (although (&str, &str) would work too).

Unfortunately, html5ever's attribute values are in Tendril<UTF8>s, not Strings (or QualNames, &strs, etc.). How can I convert one of these Tendrils into a String?

Answer 1

Use its Deref implementation:

extern crate tendril;

use tendril::{fmt::UTF8, Tendril};

fn example(t: &Tendril<UTF8>) -> &str {
    t
}

fn main() {}
