Sometimes I can not wrap my head around bootstrap. I am trying to pass a value to an Html template using bottle.py (python 3), and when using bootstrap the data passed gets truncated before rendering and I do not understand what is happening.
edit : I can see the entire string when looking at the page source, it is only visually when looking at the value rendered to the browser.
edit 2 : after removing boostrap and doing the same thing in pure html, the issue is still there, it seems like the usage of {{get('title','')}} will only display "Chief" if "Chief Operating Officer" is stored under title, however when looking at the source code the entire value is there. I do not know how to make bottle render the entire value.
Here is the code
#python3
from bottle import request, template, route, run
@route('/')
def new():
data = {'name':'This will be truncated :( '}
return template('new.tpl', **data)
if __name__ == "__main__":
run(host='localhost', port=8080)
and the html template

<! -- This works start -->
<form>
<label for="fname">this works : {{get('name','')}} </label>
<br>
<input type = "submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<! -- This works stop -->
<! -- The following does not work -->
<div class="col-sm-3">
<class="col-xs-4 control-label">This does not</label>
<input required type="text" class="form-control" value= {{get('name','')}}>
</div>
<! -- and I do not know why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -->
Well apparently everything inside the html value tag is expected to be surrounded with quotes.
So the correct way of writing the html input block is :
<input required type="text" class="form-control" value= '{{get('name','')' }}>
