Other symbol then "#" ?

[Eddie <po...@hotmail.com>]

Can someone tell me how I can configure Velocity to use another start and
end VTL symbol, which is now "#" ?
I like to use "<!--#" such that the web browser sees it as comments when
only the templates are viewed.

why not write:

<table>
<!--
#foreach($item in $list)
-->
   <tr>
      <td>
         $item.getName()
      </td>
   </tr>
<!--
#end
-->
</table>

It's not 100% but is as close as you get.
An another + with this method is that it's more pretty if you 
indent VLT and HTML different. (whitch you often must).

You cannot change the symbol to start a directive, but I thought that 
killi's solution was nice
