How do I escape the @ sign in Rythm?

I am using Rythm (yup no h), a Java template engine.

The idea is to replace placeholders in a template file (e.g. a text file).

In my case I am dealing with JSON. To call the Rythm engine I only need to do:

Rythm.render("my @var1 content and my email is joe@acme  (or call @var2)", "foo", "bar");

The output is

[DEBUG] org.rythmengine.RythmEngine:69  - Rythm-1.1.1-    SNAPSHOT started in prod mode
my foo content and my email is joebar (or call )
[ INFO] org.rythmengine.RythmEngine:84  - Shutting down Rythm Engine: [re-wZ5]

As you can see the value "bar" went to @acme which the engine mistook for a placeholder. How can I escape the @ sign?

Thanks

Solution

  • You can double the @ to escape it:

    joe@acme => joe@@acme

    EDIT - Adding Sample Code

        System.out.println(Rythm.render("my @var1 content and my email is joe@@acme.com  (or call @var2)", "foo", "bar", "foo", "bar"));

    yields

    [DEBUG]   org.rythmengine.RythmEngine:69  - Rythm-1.1.1-SNAPSHOT started in prod mode
my foo content and my email is [email protected] (or call bar)
[ INFO]   org.rythmengine.RythmEngine:84  - Shutting down Rythm Engine: [re-pI7]
