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.
If you're talking about the Velocity processing then we've already discussed it will be optional. This also refers to an alpha of Doxia, and a new major release of the site plugin.
Suddently one can no longer write documentation that contains velocity directives. e.g.
Nothing is cast in stone but I don't see why you can't use directives. You have to explain things better Henning and not just make unqualified statements. I generally have no idea what you're talking about at the best of times so you have to help me out.
[... cut ...] You can not load resources with the Velocity Template language instructions <<<#parse>>> and <<<#include>>>!
Again without a full explanation, or context I can't understand what you're doing. I assume this is your custom extension of alpha code but I have no idea how you're using it.
[... 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.
Do you really expect comments like this to be taken seriously. And do you think anyone is going to go out of their way to help you? As stated before it's alpha code coupled with a major release. The only intended consumer of Doxia right now is the site plugin which is why we have left it alpha. It is intentionally alpha for a reason.
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.
No, you're just an alarmist and a poor communicator. You went ahead and created a set of tools based on alpha code and a new major release of the site plugin. Doing whatever you want with this type of setup without having talked to anyone and then expecting everything to work is not always a reasonable expectation.
