[jira] Commented: (VELOCITY-661) Parsing errors on content inside #literal() #end block

["Jarkko Viinamäki (JIRA)" <de...@velocity.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-661?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12659885#action_12659885 ] 

Jarkko Viinamäki commented on VELOCITY-661:
-------------------------------------------

I think Velocity should not interpret anything inside the literal directive. In fact, if you look at the documentation, that is the behaviour one  would naturally expect:

"the #literal script element allows the template designer to easily use large chunks of *uninterpreted* content in VTL code"
http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/user-guide.html#stringliterals

What would be an easy way to change the literal directive so that Velocity does not interpret anything inside it?

> I have some velocity templates that include quit some javascript. Inside the javascript a javascrip template engine is used which also uses ${varname}
> Escaping each occurance would make the code rather unreable, so to prevent velocity from parsing the javascript code, I put a #literal() around it.
> However, velocity still PARSES the contents of this block, which of course results in parsing exceptions.
> My feeling with "literal" is that it is completely UNINTERPRETED content?
> This SHOULD work:
> #literal()
>  var myId = 'someID';
>  $('#test).append($.template('<div id="${myId}"></div>').apply({myId: myId}));
> #end
