I'm trying to use Icomoon web icon font in a Spring Thymeleaf application. The recommended method is to set a data-icon attribute in an HTML tag. The given css then sets font family to icomoon and content to the value of the data-icon attribute, using the selector [data-icon]:before.
The icons are references by HTML Entity Code ( for example).
I guess you've spotted my issue, Thymeleaf templates are XHTML documents. So we got a problem with the ampersand. It is escaped at template rendering to &. The icons cannot be rendered this way...
How can I prevent Thymeleaf from escaping it ?
