Re: Displaying html tag as html with bean:write

[Niall Pemberton]

By default <bean:write> 'filters' special html characters converting them to
their 'entity' types so that they render properly - for example '<' is
converted to '&gt;'

You can switch it off using the filter="false" attribute.

  <bean:write name="..." filter="false"/>

The JSTL equivalent  <c:out>  tag also has an attribute which performs the
same function. I think its "escapeXML"

However if your user really does want to see, for example, the greater than
character then they will have to type in &gt; themselves.
