Re: [xsl] Generating JSP/JSTL

["Rashmi Rubdi" <rashmi.sub@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Robert, I didn't think of the escaping of the curly
brackets, that's a good solution.

I'm new to Velocity, but I've heard good things about it.

I've encountered this syntax: <foo bar="<blah:blah/>"/> with JSTL

for example: <a href="<c:out var="someUrl"/>">Link</a> , but later
discovered that the same thing could be written with EL as <a
href="${someUrl}">Link</a>

But there might be other constructs that require things to be written as
<foo bar="<blah:blah/>"/> in JSTL , my knowledge is limited :-)

-Regards
Rashmi
