Hello, friends. I come in peace.
I would like there to be an "umlaut-translator"-function for Yesod (i.e.
"?" -> "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.
I am going to write several web applications in the near future for
different clients, and Yesod seems like the promising tool. However, I
need this conversion tool -- I *think*; maybe I have the wrong angle
altogether.

Is that still necessary? I've a feeling that all browsers support UTF-8
these days, provided that you specify your charsets correctly (which
must be done anyway for security reasons).

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.

Well, I guess those shortcuts are only present in your own code and
strings, so using something like
> #{preEscapedText myStringWithEntities}
is probably not too much of a security risk, just be more cautious if
you're getting outside content...
