Re: JSTL c:out rewrites html tags

Great! the c:out inside the c:set just modifies the value but doesnt 
output it to the web page? right?

You can use <c:out> wrapped by <c:set> to do this, as in

 <c:set var="safeStringWithNoBrackets">
   <c:out value="${mayContainHtmlOrMayNot}" />
 </c:set>
 <%-- modify string --%>
 <c:out value="${safeStringWithNoBrackets}" escapeXml="false" />
