Instead, I think pages like that one should have a block of script at the bottom something like this: ```javascript window.datasette = window.datasette || {}; datasette.view_name = 'table'; datasette.table_sql = 'select * from ...'; ```",107914493,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/1565/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,
