exception

                 Key: VELOCITY-743
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-743
             Project: Velocity
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.6.2
         Environment: JRE 6, Apache tomcat 6.0.18
            Reporter: Vinay


I am trying to write a template that is customized like this
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<hi>
<variable1> ${EPL_JOBTITLE:varB_EPL} </variable1>
<variable2>${SPL_EMPLOYEENUMBER:varA_SPL} </variable2>
</hi>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the ${EPL_JOBTITLE:varB_EPL} is custom parsed and replaced with the 
appropriate values in the context.
However, as soon as the Template is loaded by the velocity engine I get a 

Template Parse Exception : 
Encountered ":varB_EPL}\r\n\r\n\r\n" at MY Script - 1\Test this.vm[line 1, 
column 15]
Was expecting one of:
    "}" ...
    <DOT> ...


How is the ":" character an invalid one within braces ? Shouldn't it be 
supported within a variable name?
