--------------------------------

             Summary: MetaDataHeaderItem # generateString() should return specials characters escaped like StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml(s) does
                 Key: WICKET-6178
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-6178
             Project: Wicket
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: wicket
    Affects Versions: 7.3.0
            Reporter: francois
            Priority: Minor


I think MetaDataHeaderItem # generateString() should return specials characters escaped like 
StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml(s) does. 

Apache Wicket 7.3.0 - MetaDataHeaderItem  - Line 126 : append(JavaScriptUtils.escapeQuotes(value.toString())) 
return qwerty'qwerty as qwerty\’qwerty 

I would like the return to be qwerty'qwerty (for example for the metatag description). 


Martin's answer : 

Looking at 
https://github.com/apache/wicket/blob/39fb20b112e2005dab8e17667e5a763b1d89f18e/wicket-core/src/main/java/org/apache/wicket/markup/head/MetaDataHeaderItem.java#L125-L127
I agree that only double quotes should be escaped because only double 
quotes may end prematurely the value.
