> Have a xxx.ftl with only this content:
> {{<#assign VersionMajor{color:#de350b} in doc{color}>1</#assign>}}
>
> Try to processing this with fmpp results in this error message:
> - Executing: xxx.ftl
> !!! FAILED
> >>> ABORTED! <<<
> 0 executed + 0 rendered + 0 copied = 0 successfully processed
> 1 failed, 0 warning(s)
> Time elapsed: 0.077 seconds
> Error when processing this file: xxx.ftl
> java.lang.NullPointerException (at freemarker.core.BlockAssignment.accept:62)
> The reason is the assignment of the variable, expected to be defined in
> another (not yet included template). Remove the text marked as
> {color:#de350b}red{color} and it succeeds.
> *Expected*: not an NPE, but a useful error message pointing to the problem.
