[cal10n-dev] [JIRA] Commented: (CAL-13) Single quote causes bad parsing

[Gilles (JIRA)]

    [ http://jira.qos.ch/browse/CAL-13?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=11699#action_11699 ] 

Gilles commented on CAL-13:
---------------------------

Alternatively the parser code could check whether the single quote actually quotes a left curly bracket and, if not, append a second single quote.
Hence one could use single quote normally (from the point of view of someone writing localized messages).
And if a left bracket is needed in the output, the pattern string should be: <'{'> (without the enclosing angle brackets).

This would depart from the "MessageFormat" convention and be somewhat asymmetric since to obtain
  {0}
in the output, one would need a pattern such as
  '{'0}
However this will happen much less often than the use of single quotes.
