Maybe I am stupid but I don't understand why the behaviour of StringTokenizer here:

import static org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml;

String object = (String) value;
String escaped = escapeHtml(object);
StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(escaped, escapeHtml("<br/>"));

If fx. value is

Hej<br/>$user.get(0).name Har vundet<br/><table border='1'><tr><th>Name</th><th>Played</th><th>Brewed</th></tr>#foreach( $u in $user )<tr><td>$u.name</td> <td>$u.played</td> <td>$u.brewed</td></tr>#end</table><br/>

Then the result is

Hej
$use
.
e
(0).name Ha
 vunde
a
e 
o
de
='1'
h
Name
h
h
P
ayed
h
h
B
ewed
h
#fo
each( $u in $use
 )
d
$u.name
d

d
$u.p
ayed
d

d
$u.
ewed
d
#end
a
e

It makes no sense to me.

How can I make it behave as I expect to.
