String literals containing double quotes
Hello,
I'm trying to #set a reference to a string literal containing a "
(double quote) character. How can I escape it?
Sorry, I haven't found anything about this in the user guide, and '\'
seems not working with double quotes.
Regards,
Fabio

In the upcoming 1.5 release, you can just double up your quotes to escape them:
#set( $foo = "The man said, ""Jump!"" ""No,"" said I.")

Instead of the big section on escaping, perhaps the documentation
should have the great workaround we have.
#set($q='""')
#set($d='$')
Then when you need the special character, use $q or $d instead of
figuring out escaping and using double quotes or dollar sign directly.
