html - Why do I have to suppress XML excaping in this scenario -

I am working with a servlet that adds markup to text documents. For example, this

& lt; Span class = "legalTerm" & gt; According to Plaintiff the contract was not signed

In my jsp I have the following CSS, html and jstl: < / P>

  & lt; Style & gt; .legalTerm {background: light gray; color blue; Font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; Text-align: center; } & Lt; / Style & gt; & Lt; / Head & gt; & Lt; Body & gt; & Lt; C: Out value = "$ {document}" & gt; & Lt; / C: out & gt; & Lt; / Body & gt; & Lt; / Html & gt;  

When I run an app then the document displayed in the browser looks like this:

  according to & lt; Span class = "legalterm" & gt; The plaintiff's & lt; / Span & gt; The contract was never signed on  

When I see the source of the page:

  according to & amp; Lt; Span class = & amp; # 034; Legal Teacher & amp; # 034; End Gaze; Plaintiff & amp; Lieutenant; / Span & gt; The contract was not signed  

I was able to get the right behavior by pressing save XML

My question is how should this be done?
Or am I missing something that will eliminate the need to avoid XML?

Yes, this is the right behavior and why avoid XXML - Allows you to prevent the engine to prevent Are there. The default value for escapes XML is "true" because in case of normal use it will need to be avoided.
