| RAW | | Modifier | | Passes the resulting text through as is.
Note Use this keyword whenever you include HTML tags in the body of a JSP tag to prevent the HTML angle brackets from being read as less than (<) and greater than (>) symbols. |
| HTML | | Modifier | | Escapes the resulting text for a HTML page. For example, the less-than sign (<) is translated to <. (This keyword is the default if no modifier is specified.) |
| XML | | Modifier | | Escapes the resulting text for a XML document. |
| JAVASCRIPT | | Modifier | | Escapes the resulting text for inclusion in a JavaScript string. For example, translates a quotation mark (") to a slash followed by a quotation mark(/"), which indicates that the quotation mark should display on the page. |
| URL | | Modifier | | Escapes the resulting text for inclusion in a URL. For example, a blank space (" ") is translated to a plus sign (+), removing all spaces from the query string. |
| QUOTED | | Modifier | | Same as JAVASCRIPT |

| LAST | LA | List modifier | | Returns only the last item in a multi-value field. |
