Add a #scope directive for modifying scope behavior
---------------------------------------------------
Key: VELOCITY-711
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-711
Project: Velocity
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Engine
Reporter: Byron Foster
Fix For: 1.7
A propose adding a #scope block directive that would take a context as an
argument, and all VTL within the #scope block would be executed using the given
scope. The need for this directive comes up when using block macros. For
example I may want the $bodyContent of the macro to be executed in the outer
scope of block macro. Take the following case:
#for($bank in $banks)
#...@lineitem() $bank.name #if(!$bank.solvent)<b>Bankrupt</b>#end #end
#end
#macro(lineItem)
#scope($macro.outer)<div class="lineItem">$bodyContent</div>#end
#end
