mailto: link not working using play framework in scala.html

Question

<a href="mailto:support@abc.com"> mail me </a>

Above code does not work because The @-symbol in mailto makes the framework cry for a value since it thinks that @ is a scala-command. Thus, to escape the @-symbol I used double @@ which works in simple texts.

But in above link when I used like this:

<a href="mailto:support@@abc.com"> Mail me </a>

here, mailto: is not working.

Answer 1

You need put @ twice, like support@@abc.com

I did verification on my own twirl template

<a href="mailto:support@@abc.com"> Mail me </a>

Is perfectly work. Maybe you cached a wrong version?
