quotes handling

Hi,

I'm using Velocity, from Turbine TDK 1.1a9, I've seen a strange
behaviour when handling quotes by Velocity.

I have the next (broken)HTML code in my template:

<form name="login>               <-- Note that I don't close the quotes
-->
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="login">

This gets parsed and outputs the next HTML:
<form name="login>
<input type="hiddenname="action" value="login"> 

I has eaten the second quote and a space in the hidden input field!

Is this a bug in Velocity?

Cheers,

Arkaitz.

I spoke too soon.  Unless it's something due to parts of the template
you aren't showing, that parses fine.  On my box, a simple template :

<form name="login> 
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="login">

will output :

<form name="login> 
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="login">

Which is right. (It's the same :)

So either it's a dated velocity.jar, or there is something going on due
to the other parts of the template.  Feel free to send me the template,
and I will take a look.
