One of the general purpose core library tag is <c: out>. The main function of the this tag is to display the output to the user. It works like expression tag in jsp <%= ---%>. 

Attributes of the <c: out> core action tag. 

1. value: It specify the expression which needs to be evaluated. 
2. default: We can use this attribute if the resulting value is null.
3. escapeXml: It checks whether there is any need to convert the &, <, > etc to their character encoding codes. 

To see the desired result we need to use a core action tag <c: set> with a body. We are using this tag to differentiate between the escapeXml = true and escapeXml = false which is the attribute of <c: out> core action tag. We have used two attributes of <c: out>. The attribute value which is a must attribute and escapeXml attribute which takes a boolean value and is used to check whether there is any need to convert the &, <, > etc to their character encoding codes. Please go through this example and try to understand what is happening in the program.  

The code of the program is given below:
