If you write:

  &quot;
  ${"&quot;"}

then it will output:

  &quot;
  &quot;

FreeMarker does not touch &quot;-s, as FTL syntax has no entity
references, so &quot; is just text. Unless... do you try to print an
expression inside en <#escape x as x?html> block (in that case you get
&amp;quot; in the output)? Then use <#noescape>${exp}</#noescape> to
disable automatic escaping for that block.
