it seems he even wrote his own version of an existing directive!
"... and a simple directive to halt the rendering of a template "
umm... wasn't #stop enough? What does his own #exit do that #stop
doesn't?

Prompted me to read the article... and you're right man, that really does
sound like a hacked up remedial version of Velocity View Tools. :-(
Plus, the author is recommending creation of new directives to, of all
things, format dates! Yikes.
I'm not so sure the Vel homepage should link to this article without a
warning. "Don't do it this way, please." <grin>
I still think the Velocity homepage ought to have the "What is Velocity?"
moved to the TOP of the page, and reworded to give some plugs to what
Velocity can be used for and how -- including what the Tools and other
subj-projects are geared for doing.
I've got some code to check-in this morning...but I'll send a proposed
"patch" later today. Promise.
Timo

Is it just me, or would the author of this article have been really well
served to have looked at Velocity Tools ? Seems that he wrote himself,
so much of what was already there.
