The <c:out> action escapes special characters (e.g. quotes) to their

Is there any way to NOT escape a special character using <c:out>?
For example, if I want to display a string with html in it such as
"this is the <b> important </b> bit" when displaying the string using
c:out the < > characters are actually displayed on the screen because at
some point they are converted to ampersand characters before display...
ie "this is the <b> important </b> bit...
(or something like that, not sure if those are the actual escape
codes...)
You control this with the escapeXml attribute:
<c:out value="${valueWithHTML}" escapeXml="false" />
