How do I embed HTML entities in text in a Hoplon page?

I'm trying to render HTML entities in Hoplon using the following:

(a :href "#" :class "deck-prev-link" :title "Previous" "←")

But instead of an arrow, it's displaying the literal ← in the rendered page.

What am I missing?

Solution

  • So in case anyone is wondering, the answer is to either paste the "←" directly into the string like this:

    (a :href "#" :class "deck-prev-link" :title "Previous" "←")

    or to use the unicode escape in the string like this:

    (a :href "#" :class "deck-prev-link" :title "Previous" "\u2190")

    I found the unicode decimal code point for the leftward arrow here: List of XML and HTML Character Entity References.
