Escaping of Tag Content about crate HOT 3 CLOSED

This isn't a bug in crate. The google-closure createTextNode is not escaping the text either, it's a plain wrapper over the Document createTextNode(). The latter method does not interpret or parse it's input, which is why HTML entity characters are printed literally. What to do? Since this question was posted 5 months ago, I gather you've found a solution. In any case, if you're working with UTF-8 encoded documents, send the equivalent unicode notation for the HTML entity,

e.g. &ldquo -> \u201C ...

from crate.

This threw me too. It's because crate returns dom nodes instead of strings like hiccup. It uses createTextNode to do this. Conveniently, it accepts dom nodes as node content so you can do stuff like this:

(crate/html [:div (.htmlToDocumentFragment goog.dom "<span>foo</span><strong>bar</strong>")])
=> <div><span>foo</span><strong>bar</strong></div>

from crate.

Haven't touched or looked at this in a long time, closing.
