Claude Brisson commented on VELOCITY-679: ----------------------------------------- Oh, I see : Jira eats double backslashes in comments... let's try again, replacing backslashes by slashes: $$foo -> $bar (ok, first $ is literal) /$$foo -> $foo (weird) //$$foo -> /$bar (ok: // renders to / before a $, then the first $ is literal and $foo gives $bar) /$foo -> $foo (ok) //$foo -> /bar (ok) Only the second case looks problematic, but what should we output? The usecase itself is problematic. Fell free to reopen if I missed something. > Escaping #set(foo="bar")\\$$foo broken > -------------------------------------- > > Key: VELOCITY-679 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-679 > Project: Velocity > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Engine > Affects Versions: 1.6.1, 1.7 > Reporter: Byron Foster > Assignee: Claude Brisson > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 2.x > > > The following VTL > #set($foo="bar")\\$$foo > results in: > \$bar > but should be: > \\$bar -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@velocity.apache.org
