Config property for silent by default

[Maurice Nicholson <ma...@opodo.com>]

Hi all,
 
is there a Velocity config property to use silent notation by default?
 
I want to simplify authoring templates as much as possible (eg, for
non-technical people) so I'd like to always use non-silent notation like
$myVar or ${myVar} and if it's not defined, have Velocity output an empty
string.
 
Otherwise I think I'll need to use silent notation for many of my context
variable references, just in case some are not defined!
 
Many thanks,
Maurice

there's no basic config property, but what you want can probably be
accomplished (i haven't tried myself) using a
ReferenceInsertionEventHandler.
