JavaSercer Pages A.5 Escape Characters Since certain character

JavaSercer Pages A.5 Escape Characters Since certain character sequences are used to represent start and stop tags, you sometimes need to escape a character so the container doesn’t interpret it as part of a special character sequence. In a scripting element, if you need to use the characters %> literally, you must escape the greater-than character with a backslash: <% String msg = "Literal %> must be escaped”; %> To avoid the character sequence <% in template text being interpreted as the start of a scripting element, you must escape the percent sign: This is template text, and <% is not a start of a scriptlet. In an attribute value, you must use the following escapes: attr='a value with an escaped ' single quote' attr="a value with an escaped " double quote" attr="a value with an escaped \ backslash" attr="a value with an escaped %> scripting end tag” attr=”a value with an escaped <% scripting start tag" page 269
