[jdom-interest] Question about turning off escaping & characters..

[Jason Hunter]

The best way to solve this is to set the text in the document as the
exact string you want without the escaping.  Here for example just set
\u0151 in the string when it's set.  Then when someone calls getText()
they'll get the right string, and the outputter will handle it correctly
too.  Do not set the text in an escaped form.

You can control the outputter escaping behavior through subclassing. 
You'll only need to do that here if you want the char written as —
instead of the default UTF-8 encoded char.
