Thymeleaf: working with HTML entity

Question

I have this piece of code in my Thymeleaf template

<td class="col_name" th:text="${carPriceSummary.price} + &nbsp;&euro; "></td>

But I got this error:

Could not parse as expression: "${carPriceSummary.price} + € "

Welcome to SO.

You may be better off using the utility method for currency that would include the appropriate symbol based on the locale:

<td class="col_name" th:text="${#numbers.formatCurrency(carPriceSummary.price)}">[price]</td>

but otherwise, adding the string representation would be a hacky way to do it:

<td class="col_name" th:text="${carPriceSummary.price} + ' €' ">[price]</td>

In either case, I would recommend including a default string like [price] so that it can be opened directly in a browser with the col_name class applied. This is a key strength to using Thymeleaf.

That's because  € is not a valid expression. You'd at least need to make sure it's recognised as a string, ie put it in quotes.

I recommend the literal substitution format

th:text="|${carPriceSummary.price}&nbsp;&euro; |"
