Mathieu Stempell opened SPR-14074 and commented

The last two examples in this chapter miss the '#' SpEL prefix character :

<bean id="numberGuess" class="org.spring.samples.NumberGuess">
    <property name="randomNumber" value="{ T(java.lang.Math).random() * 100.0 }"/>

    <!-- other properties -->
</bean>

<bean id="shapeGuess" class="org.spring.samples.ShapeGuess">
    <property name="initialShapeSeed" value="{ numberGuess.randomNumber }"/>

    <!-- other properties -->
</bean>

This seems to be an asciidoc issue, leading to a single quote character within a span element and rendering the subsequent expression in the wrong format. However, an apparently analogous source renders fine in the preceding examples.

Stéphane Nicoll, have you seen this before? I might be missing something, being a rather naive asciidoc user after all...

The quotes substitution was enabled for those example and # is a reserved keyword. I suspect a bug somewhere because the output wasn't the same for every example. In any case, I've fixed all XML example using # and backported the commit to 4.2.x .
