eclipse and servlets

Hallo everybody
I'm writting a servlet in eclipse and face the following problem.
Usually in java a convention is, that a String must be between "".
When I write

out.println("<table width="533" border="1">");
(where out is an instance of PrintWriter)

I do get of course an error from eclipse. But Html needs this
characters. What do I need to do to work out this problem?

Thanks
Peter

You can escape certain characters in a string with \.

out.println("<table width=\"533\" border=\"1\">");

should work.
With \ you can also use other special characters like
\t = tab
\n = newline
...

Regards
Sebastian

You need to escape the quotes inside the string to prevent them
from looking like the end of the string. Use backslash for this
purpose, thusly:

out.println("<table width=\"533\" border=\"1\">");

Normally, you should use JSP to output HTML.

Anyway, in java, use backslash to escape special characters :

System.out.println("outputing \"special\" characters");
