The velocity aspect - templating - is the same. What it's meant to do
is simply use the declarative model of XSL (which *is* complicated) and

Hi,
I just had a look at this again after using Velocity for a year or two.
I can see some way to use this inside a Velocity template/page very
nicely. I believe I know XSL 1.0 pretty well. I can see how some things
in Velocity proper can replace some things in XSL so they do not need to
be repeated there. I have some quick questions questions off the top of
my head:
- how are namespaces handled? how do you declare them? Is XPath fully
supported (uses Jaxen perhaps?)?
- are there modes and named templates?
- can you do something like:
#if ($foo)
#match("foo")$context.applyTemplates()#end
#else
#match("*")$context.applyTemplates()#end
#end
- can you use the XML nodes in a conditional. For example say I have a
source like:
<foo bar="something"/>
Can an if be like an XSL if testing the existence of the bar attribute like:
#if (@bar)
do something...
#end
best,
-Rob
