Print percent character

console.log("%test"); // %test
console.log("%%test"); // %test
console.log("%%%test"); // %%test
etc

Say I have a string that may or may not have a number of consecutive '%' How can I print it correctly (with all percent characters)?

Example:

var myString = getStringFromAnAPi();  // say, the API returns "ping%%%pong"
console.log(myString)   // ping%%pong   -> missing one %

this way you can append text to %,

console.log("%",'test'); // %test
console.log("%%","test"); // %test
console.log("%%%","test"); // %%test

in html,

<div>&#37;test</div>
<div>&#37;&#37;test</div>
<div>&#37;&#37;&#37;test</div>

output

%test
%%test
%%%test

You can do that by: console.log('%s%%%', 'test');. See JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/8B5Vh/
