Hi Eric,
It should work. I'm trying to work hard at making the String tag library
integrate as much as possible with JSTL as it seems to be the most common
place it gets used now. For example, I've copied the JSTL habit of being
able to place all output into a var variable, and there's a
StringTagSupport class there if you want to write your own string-based
tags.
Basically, if your example doesn't work for you, then it'll get fixed
pronto. However the way these things work is that the substring tag should
get the output of the c:out tag and not the tag itself.
Someone found a bug in this a week or so back, [the string taglibs fault]
so you might need to grab the latest jar file.
