Hash: SHA256
All,
I know this has been asked before but I've never really found a
satisfactory answer: what's the best way to put a literal tab into a
VTL template?
I don't want to use:
context.put("tab", "\t");
And then use $tab in my template, because I'd have to edit however
many pieces of code call templates in order to do that.
I don't want to write a new "tool" and put it into the context because
that's stupid.
I could modify the EscapeTool (which I already use for inconvenient
characters such as "hash", "backslash", "dollar", and "newline".
But there does not seem to be a good way to get a literal tab into a
template, directly. I'm, of course, being sabotaged by my editor
(Eclipse) which will refuse to put a tab into a file even if I
generate a tab elsewhere and copy/paste into the template. That surely
has something to do with my own personal editor-preferences. But that
means that any other member of my team who edits the file might damage
it it I go ahead and edit the template with vi just to get it done.
There doesn't appear to be any way to put odd literals of other types
into templates, either. Let's say I'm using vi and want to put
Japanese text into my template? Am I out of luck? Or is there some
undocumented "escaping" built-into Velocity that I can use to put a
literal 日本 into my template without being able to type it or
copy/paste it?
Thanks,
- -chris
