Escape quotes in interpolated strings (both ' and ") by doubling them ('' and
"")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: VELOCITY-555
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-555
Project: Velocity
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 1.5
Reporter: Nathan Bubna
Fix For: 1.6
More than a few years, the issue of escaping quotes in interpolated strings was
discussed at some length. Eventually, the list came to a consensus that we
should escape them by doubling them, since this would be (or at least very
nearly be) backwards compatible and provide a simple solution for this
much-wanted feature.
Geir had working code for this and even posted a test jar, IIRC. So, many of
us thought that this had made it into the 1.5 codebase. But the code never
got checked in and may have been lost. Assuming Geir can't find the old code
or the time to duplicate the effort, we should still try to implement this.
This issue is open to remind us of that. If i get around to digging up links
to the relevant threads, i will post those in the comments of this issue.
