Entity in client code. about eliom HOT 5 CLOSED

Ahah, I investigated the bug, so let's look at https://github.com/ocsigen/eliom/blob/master/src/client/eliom_client.ml#L1246 . Strangely, as you pointed out, it doesn't work!
@balat, @vouillon (@chambart ?) Is there a way to bypass the encoding done by eliom/js_of_ocaml, if yes, where ?
If no, how do I do it ?

Since you seems to be in the middle of hacking this stuff, @hhugo ? :)

I just pushed ocsigen/js_of_ocaml@18d0689
the new function Dom_html.decode_html_entities decode html entities to their corresponding chars.

let x = Js.string "&#946"
let x = Dom_html.decode_html_entities x (* x now contains β *)

Great, thanks!
I guess now eliom_client.ml should be fixed using the new Dom_html.decode_html_entities function?

@pveber I added your example in the test suite, thanks!
