hi Velocity team:
I am an user of Velocity from China. Thanks for your perfect production.
Through your creative and hard work, we have such Convenience and Powerful
tools in our toolbox.
but i have encounter some mistakes in the Velocity User Guide which in
velocity-1.4\docs directory.
1) in Escaping VTL Directives section.
\\#if( $jazz )
Vyacheslav Ganelin
\\#end
In this case, if $jazz is true, the output is
\ Vyacheslav Ganelin
\
after i run this code fragment,the output is :
\ Vyacheslav Ganelin \
i think it's reasonable,because there is no "<br>" tag,so the
browser(my is IE 6.0) doesn't output the backslash in a new line.
2) Advanced Issues: Escaping and !
#set( $foo = "bar" )
$\!foo
$\!{foo}
$\\!foo
$\\\!foo
This renders as:
$!foo
$!{foo}
$\!foo
$\\!foo
My output is:
$!foo
$!{
$\!foo
$\\!foo
i was confused.
-------------------------------------------------------
Contrast this with regular escaping, where \ precedes $:
\$foo
\$!foo
\$!{foo}
\\$!{foo}
This renders as:
\$foo
\$!foo
\$!{foo}
\bar
My output is:
$foo
$!foo
$!{foo}
\bar
it seems like clerical error.
3) Velocimacro Trivia
Currently, Velocimacros must be defined before they are first used in a
template. This means that your #macro() declarations should come before
using the Velocimacros.
i defined VM after they are first used in a template, it also work. i
don't know why.
hope your reply.
best regards
sun wei
