 Besides cops which are provided directly by RuboCop and `rubocop-performance`, there are a few additional cops provided by this plugin:
 
-* `Bridgetown/HTMLEscapedHeredoc`: this will monitor any heredocs in your code for potential XSS issues inside of any string interpolations. To avoid linting errors, you will need to wrap any interpolated code inside of one of the following method names: `html`, `html_map`, `html_attributes`, `text`, or `render`. These methods are provided by the [Streamlined](https://github.com/bridgetownrb/streamlined) gem, bundled in Bridgetown 1.4 by default (but you can use them in any Ruby application including Rails).

To avoid linting errors, you will need to wrap any interpolated code in the string with one of the following method names: `html`, `html_map`, `html_attributes`, `text`, or `render`.

 * `Bridgetown/NoPAllowed`: this encourages using your framework's logger rather than `p` to output debugging information.
 * `Bridgetown/NoPutsAllowed`: this encourages using your framework's logger rather than `puts` to output debugging information.
 
 You can disable any of these cops in specific parts of your codebase as needed, or by setting `Enabled: false` for any particular cop in your `.rubocop.yml`.

+Regarding recommended Streamlined syntax, you may want to exclude `Layout/SpaceBeforeFirstArg` and `Layout/SpaceBeforeBlockBraces` in the folders you write Streamlined components and helpers. This is so you can write `text->{ ... }`, `html->{ ... }`, etc. (Otherwise RuboCop will require you to write `text -> { ... }`, etc. which is more verbose.)
