how to display text in angular brackets in jsp

[Raj Kumar Bindal]

I am not able to display some text within angular brackets in jsp.Even in simple html file if i write >bfasd>fsdf,it is displaying only fsdl and not text in angular brackets.Seems like issue with browser.

So,can anyone tell me how i can display text in angular brackets in browser or jsp file.

Exactly the same as in HTML (which is what the JSP generates, as you know). Escape the > character as >.

(This is assuming you are just asking about hard-coded text in the JSP. You weren't very specific about where the text was coming from.)

You are right.We can use > but in that case, even html tags will not work as expected and will come as it is.I mean writing <b> will not act as tag which makes text bold.
Can you suggest any other way.

There is text that you want to be displayed with the brackets, and text that are real HTML tags. Only convert the former.

For dynamic text, the use of <c:out> to emit the text automatically HTML-encodes the text. For template text, just type in the HTML entities yourself.

not able to display : <b><xyz></b>

I don't know what that means. Are you using <c:out> as instructed?

The escapeXml attribute of <c:out> can be set to either escape the characters or not.
