Escape " in velocity

[Akshay Kapur <ak...@cisco.com>]

In a .vm template, I want to assign a string with double quotes in it to a 
velocity variable. How do I do this? (Conceptually similar to what I am 
doing below but obviously, the one below doesn't work)

#set( $x = " Title: "Time" " )

Try this:

#set( $quote = '"' )
#set( $x = " Title: ${quote}Time${quote} ")

...should do the trick. Of course you don't need the curly brackets 
if there are spaces around where you need to expand $quote but just 
always use them so you don't have think about this special case.

Yes?
