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

Question

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?

Answer 1

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" "\←")

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