Escape a double quote "

[Matt Higgins <mh...@bluesocket.com>]

I have a macro that produces html and I need to escape a double quote
i.e. "

An example may be helpful 

#macro(showimage $imagePath)
	#set ($output = "<img class="foo" src="$imagePath">")
        <table>
	<tr><td>$output</td></tr>
	</table>
#end

I would like it to produce 
<table>
<tr><td><img class="foo" src="/path/to/file.jpg"></td><tr>
</table>

The above code obviously pukes, however I tried to escape the contained
quotes with \" but that did not output any quotes. I searched around the
site but could not find anything ? 

Any help with this would be appreciated. 

-Matt

Use the poor-mans's escaping...

	#set ($output = "<img class=${Q}foo${Q} src=${Q}$imagePath${Q}>")

or the HTML alternative of single quotes:

  	#set ($output = "<img class='foo' src='$imagePath'>")
