Re: Escaping in VTL (was Re: Velocity JSP Generation)

[Will Glass-Husain]

Doesn't quite work that easily.
The problem is that if "#directive" is not an actual macro, than \#directive 
is shown verbatim.  You only should escape when the same  code is legit in 
both the source and the generated Velocity.  This can be a little confusing.

I still don't "get" the whole escaping scheme, partly because I can't
find any documentation that is completely correct.  We might want a
document totally devoted to escaping in VTL.  :(
Escape all [$], [#], ["], [!] and ['].  (actually, ! might be overkill, 
but
better safe than sorry.) Just use your tool :)

Always use formal notation ${x}
That's always worked for me, and never surprises me.
