[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (VELOCITY-337) Need translations of new #{else} syntax documentation

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-337?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12636096#action_12636096 ]

There needs to be done some clarification in VTL reference

It says:
# [ { ] if [ } ] ( [condition] ) [output] [ # [ { ] elseif [ } ] ( [condition] ) [output] ]* [ # [ { ] else [ } ] [output] ] # [ { ] end [ } ] 

witch means that

     #if ($foo) output #{end} 
alternatively 
     #{if} ($foo) output #end

is correct. In fact it is NOT.

It behaves very similarly with #{elseif} in between #if and #end

> Need to update Spanish, Finnish, French versions of the user guide with the 
> new #{directive} syntax.
> (also wouldn't hurt to check for consistency with other new items - use svn 
> diff).  Here's the new English copy (from revision 125388)
> Directives always begin with a #. Like references, the name of the directive 
> may be bracketed by a { and a } symbol. This is useful with directives that 
> are immediately followed by text. For example the following produces an error: 
>    
>  #if($a==1)true enough#elseno way!#end
>   
> In such a case, use the brackets to separate #else from the rest of the line. 
>  
>  #if($a==1)true enough#{else}no way!#end
