How to write percentage sign into a txt file

I'm trying to generate an html file using fprintf. The issue is that % is causing lots of issues, because it is used by the system to detect the type of the info (integer, text, etc.). So how do I get around the issue?

fprintf(fid, '<td width="20%">%s</td>\n', B{i,2});

"So how do I get around the issue?"

By reading the fprintf help and looking at the table of special characters.

Leon - try using two %

 fprintf(fid, '<td width="20%%">%s</td>\n', B{i,2});

See the special characters section from fprintf.

It works.
