Quotes in strings

Hi!

Using pr-str, you can print arbitrary edn data, and read it on the client side using read-string, i.e.

user> (read-string (pr-str {:a "a"}))
{:a "a"}

Passing something like this to hiccup.core/html gives the following:

user> (println (hiccup.core/html [:div {:data-example (pr-str {:a "a"})}]))
<div data-example="{:a &quot;a&quot;}"></div>

When getting the data-example field from ClojureScript, I can read-string the resulting string and get the data structure back.

Passing the same to dumdom.string/render gives this:

user> (println (dumdom.string/render [:div {:data-example (pr-str {:a "a"})}]))
<div data-example="{:a "a"}"></div>

Here, the data-example does not contain the expected string.

Note this is not a big issue, as something like:

user> (println (dumdom.string/render [:div {:data-example (clojure.string/escape (pr-str {:a "a"}) {\" """})}]))
<div data-example="{:a &quot;a&quot;}"></div>

gives the expected result.
