[Velocity User Guide]Mistake Report

[SunYi <su...@gmail.com>]

Hello Velocity Developers,
	I think there is a mistake in the page:
	http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/user-guide.html
	
	In the "Escaping Valid VTL References "
section(http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/user-guide.html#escapingvali
dvtlreferences).

	Isn't the "\\\$email" should be render as "\\$email " as you explain
the bind-from-left rule later?

Original Text quotation:
	## The following line defines $email in this template:
	#set( $email = "foo" )
	$email
	\$email
	\\$email
	\\\$email
	renders as 

	foo
	$email
	\foo
	\$email
Note that the \ character bind to the $ from the left. The bind-from-left
rule causes \\\$email to render as \\$email. Compare these examples to those
in which $email is not defined.

Hi Sun Yi--

Thanks for reporting this.  We're in the process of issuing a rewrite (with
the next release) of the user guide-- I'll double check this is fixed.

Best, WILL
