How to escape single quote (') in Thymeleaf

<h1 th:text="${'What\'s up?'}"></h1>

I want this to output

<h1>What's up?</h1>

But I get an TemplateInputException. I have tried with HTML entity but it fails the same.

if you want transfer code such as onclick="showName('John')" to thymeleaf expression, use th:onclick=(${'showName'(\''+name+'\''}) that will get error：EL1065E: Unexpected escape character. And then,use double sigle quote to fix：

is this right?
<div th:onclick="${'showName('''+name+''''}"></div>

do test,WTF! double single quote is escaped to '&#39';。after some research，i found the corret way is：

correct now：
<div th:onclick="'showName(\''+${name}+'\''"></div>

you should keep ${name} as whole,as an atomic,don't use '+' operation in it.

i think only th:onclick just like that,th:text can use add operation in it.

My English is funny,but i think you can understand.

To escape a single quote you just escape it with a \'

<p th:text="'What\'s up?'"></p>
<p th:text="${myVar} + 'What\'s up?'"></p>
