[jdom-interest] Special characters in Text or the Tag

[Ian Lea]

You typically don't have to worry about it.  In your example
if you have

 String s = "lskjflks/ljf/&";
 Element e = new Element("title").setText(s);

then a subsequent call to e.getText() will return
the same string because the & will have been
converted to & and then back to & again.
