Hello, friends. I come in peace.
I would like there to be an "umlaut-translator"-function for Yesod (i.e. "ö" -> "ö"), but I have yet to find it. Furthermore the "#{}"-syntax does escaping of stuff like '<', '>' and, a more troubling '&' which is used in the umlaut-syntax. So any umlaut-translator would have to do this *after* the application of toHtml by the "#{}"-syntax which complicates writing ones own umlaut-converter. I may be totally wrong here; if so, feel free to correct me. I am also rather new to Yesod, but I am intent on giving it a good evaluation.
You could simply write your "umlaut-translator" to produce Html directly instead of a String so that #{} don't try to interpret it but as Isaac said, you should probably just use utf-8, that would bypass the problem altogether. All new webpages should be written in utf-8 today anyway, as far as I know any character that _has_ to be transformed into an entity by toHtml is. -- Jedaï
