Hi,

I am probably in a minority, but a patch like the one in
"http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=519557"; scares the
hell out of me. Not only is this a major, undocumented change to the
behaviour of the Doxia renderer, it also breaks a number of apt and
xdoc pages that rendered fine before this patch. Suddently one can no
longer write documentation that contains velocity directives. e.g.

[... cut ...]

  You can not load resources with the Velocity Template
  language instructions <<<#parse>>> and <<<#include>>>!

[... cut ...]

As much as I like to have that feature in Doxia (render templates
through Velocity before rendering through Doxia), this is exactly the
kind of half-assed approach that gave Maven its reputation.

Please, either fix this or back this patch out. And if that patch is
accepted, please *document* it.

Now go ahead and give me the "whiner" label again. I don't care.

        Best regards
                Henning
