Escaping single quote or double quote (' or '')

[Kok Hoor <ko...@solutionx.com.my>]

Hi all,

    I am quite new to velocity, and I think what I am asking here is not
in
The documents.

    Is it possible to escape a single quote (') inside a single quoted
Expression, like this:

	'test\''

    Or 

	"test\""

    Thanks in advance.

Regards,
    Kok Hoor

I've used the following:

#set( $dollarSign = '$' )
#set( $poundSign = '#' )
#set( $doubleQuote = '"' )

I would imagine that you can also do the following although I've never 
tested it.

#set( $singleQuote = "'" )

In your example, it'd come out as

"test${singleQuote}"

or 

"test${doubleQuote}"


There is no \ notation for velocity (although the docs incorrectly stated 
that there was such a thing at one point).
