                 URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/DOCU-243
             Project: Documentation

            Reporter: Suzanne Deprez

Need to add documentation to describe how content can be processed in JSP.

Christian Ringele included the following response to a question in an E-mail:
User's Question: How can I use the data from the content object in JSP code? 
For example:

<p>${content.text}</p>

<%
    String text = content.text;
    text = text.substring( 4 );
%>

<p>Substring text: <%= text %></p>

Christian's response: In the magnolia project, there is the samples module:
http://svn.magnolia-cms.com/svn/community/magnolia/tags/magnolia-4.4.2/magnolia-module-samples
(here in 4.4.2 for example).
There are some JSP samples.

It's obvious that the ${content.text} works. But if I want to process that in 
JSP code, I'm stuck. The code above doesn't work, as "content" is not a JSP 
variable, so the line "String text = content.text" will fail. I know that a 
simple thing as substring can probably be done in freemarker or with some util 
function, but the code above is just a simplified example. The question is how 
the "content" can be processed in JSP.
