Re: help - text within { } is not rendered by the engine
I can replicate this behavior, and it looks like a bug.
If you have a "$" followed by letters (something in the context or not
in the context), followed by a {, whatever follows the { is removed
until it gets to whitespace.
So $c1{something} -> $c1{
$c1{something -> $c1{
$c1{something} More text -> $c1{ More text
$c1{something More text -> $c1{ More text
If $c1 is in the Velocity context with a value "Hello", then it is
$c1{something} ->Hello{
$c1{something ->Hello{
$c1{something More text ->Hello{ More text
Not good behavior for a templating language.

perhaps as a workaround, try
#set( $D = '$' )
${D}c1{whatever}

The following expression will do the trick:
$c1##
{Something}
Sorry for my previous answer. Next time I ll spend more time reading the
question :)

Re: help - text within { } is not rendered by the engine
Posted by Barbara Baughman <ba...@utdallas.edu>.
But if $c1 is not in the context, you cannot get the following result
using Velocity no matter the Velocity code.
$c1{something}
Using your idea:
${c1}{something} -> ${c1}{something}

You can always use the formal way: ${c1}{something} to make it work.
