Oops, I asked for that one, :o
My question was spawned by using a single "=" instead of "==" to test for
equivelance of two variables. I was referencing the latest documentation,
but didn't have this simple operator. So leave it to me to get caught up on
the simple things...Doh!


Can this be added to the Velocity docs?


I suggest to append to the "Logical Operators" section:


Testing equivelance of Velocity variables:

         #set ($foo = "some value")
         #set ($bar = "some other value")

	   #if ($foo == $bar)
            do something here if they equate
         #else
            do something here is they are not the same
         #end



Nesting Loops:
(not sure how deep you can go)


   #foreach ($bigitem in $biglist)
       do something here...

           #foreach ($smallitem in $smalllist)
                do something here...

                    #foreach ($tinyitem in $tinylist)
                       do something here...

                    #end
           #end
    #end

I went and checked.  Yes, I think you are right :)  I am sure John
Castura, Minister of Information, will get this in there.

What do you mean 'how deep'?  I can't imagine that there is a limit
until you run out of RAM or something...
Give it a whirl and let us know :)

Velocity : it's not just a good idea. It should be the law.

Thanks Don! I'm checking that in now...
