Printing quotes in java

Question

I need to make a string with the following content:

<head>    
<meta name="keywords" content="HTML, meta tags, metadata" />
</head>

Because of all of the quotation marks, not all of the words are included.

Escape your double-quotes. [Tutorial](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/data/characters.html). — rgettman, Jan 08 '14 at 19:07

*"thanks so much rgettman you just saved my project"* ... Oh, I doubt that. — Brian Roach, Jan 08 '14 at 19:10
@user3170404 No, I didn't just save your project. I just referred you to well-known tutorials on well-known, basic Java knowledge about escape characters. — rgettman, Jan 08 '14 at 19:16

I think you're looking for this

String str = "<head>\n<meta name=\"keywords\" "
    + "content=\"HTML, meta tags, metadata\" />\n</head>";
System.out.println(str);

Which outputs

<head>
<meta name="keywords" content="HTML, meta tags, metadata" />
</head>

you can escape the individual quotations:

<head>    
<meta name=\"keywords\" content=\"HTML, meta tags, metadata\" />
</head>
