[jira] [Updated] (VELOCITY-874) Addition works, but subtraction
doesn't
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-874?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Alexander Rosenberg updated VELOCITY-874:
-----------------------------------------
Description:
This works as expected:
{noformat}
## @noparams
#set ($n = 5)
#set ($m = $n+1)
<p>$m</p>
{noformat}
Output: {{<p>6</p>}}
However, subtraction doesn't work:
{noformat}
## @noparams
#set ($n = 5)
#set ($m = $n-1)
<p>$m</p>
{noformat}
Output: {{<p>$m</p>}}
From [SO Q&A #15448108|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15448108/subtraction-is-not-working-with-velocity-template], it appears that this behavior is due to the parser treating the hyphen/dash/minus-sign as part of the identifier, but certainly an exception should be made for when the "identifier" ends with only digits and/or hyphens.
