Nested tag with text and variable are not interpreted

Question

I have nested tag

today is not interpreted

<p th:text="#{today}">  <span th:text="${today}">16 december 2021</span> </p>

With this line, that work but that don't get the same output

<p th:text="#{today}"> </p> <span th:text="${today}">16 december 2021</span>

Answer 1

<p>
  [[#{today}]]
  <span th:text="${today}">16 december 2021</span>
</p>

or

<p>
  <span th:text="#{today}" />
  <span th:text="${today}">16 december 2021</span>
</p>

Outer tags overwrite their contents, so just move the outer text in.
