Spring Boot (1.4.1) and Thymeleaf (3) MessageSource single quotes

I have a question about MessageSource messages in Spring Boot (1.4.1) and Thymeleaf (3).

File app.properties

app.quotes=Francesco's title
app.quotes2=Francesco''s title

In page.html when I print the messages

<h2 th:text="#{app.quotes}"></h2>
<h2 th:utext="#{app.quotes}"></h2>
<h2 th:text="#{app.quotes2}"></h2>
<h2 th:utext="#{app.quotes2}"></h2>

I get exactly (th:text or th:utext does not make any difference)

In my controller

private final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass());    

@Autowired
private MessageSource messages;

@RequestMapping(value="/page", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String page() {

    String text = messages.getMessage("app.quotes", null, LocaleContextHolder.getLocale());
    String text2 = messages.getMessage("app.quotes2", null, LocaleContextHolder.getLocale());

    log.debug("text = " + text);
    log.debug("text2 = " + text2);

    // Output
    return "page";
}

The text I get logged is

This is predictable because single quotes in properties messages must be escaped with double single quotes ("Francesco''s title" is supposed to be the correct text). How can I make Thymeleaf to print the message escaping the double single quotes as MessageSource does, or MessageSource to return the plain text as Thymeleaf does? I would like not to use different keys/values based on the caller.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Spring will not parse the message as long as it not contains an argument (app.quote=John's message) but will do so if it has a one (app.quote={0}'s message)

You can override this behavior with setAlwaysUseMessageFormat:

@Bean
MessageSource defaultMessageSource(){
 org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource source = new org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
source.setAlwaysUseMessageFormat(true);
return source;
}

Also take look at resolveCodeWithoutArguments.
