Hi There is no problem in having html markup in the properties file. All you need to do is to use the escape property when writing it out to indicate to the renderer that it should leave the markup as is.

The site I'm working on has quite a lot of largish static pages containing help info, user guides etc. There's quite a lot of mark-up in the pages, for example: <h3>help section 1</h3> <p>some useful info</p> <p>some more useful info</p> I need to make the content multi-language, and can think of a couple of ways to go about it. 1. The obvious: use a message bundle. The problem I can see with this is that (afaik) it's not possible to put html markup into a message bundle and have it rendered on the page. It's generally treated as part of the text and displayed by the browser instead of being used to format the text. Hence even the tiny snippet above would require three entries in the message bundle. With the pages I'm looking at the grand total of entries in the message bundle would be into 4 figures! 2. Use the current locale to load files from a dynamic url, (I use clayImport to pull them into my layout), so I'd have /static_content/en/, /static_content/fr/, and then have an English, French etc. copy of each html page. Personally I lean towards the second solution, but was curious whether there is some clever Clay-way of getting markup from a message bundle to actually be used as markup by the browser? Cheers, Ian. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This email with attachments is solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
