Parsing templates with $variables but without ##, #* etc...

[Bart Selders <ba...@ibanx.nl>]

I have (generated) templates that contain lots of literal character 
sequences like ##, #*, #if etc. It is not predictable if and when these 
appear in the template. I do not want to modify them to escape certain 
pieces.

Therefore I would like to programmatically disable the parsing of ##, 
#*, #set, #if, etc. At the same time I need to parse the $variables, as 
these have to be replaced with real data.

I searched the mailing list for advice but didn't find any. I shortly 
looked at freemarker, as that template engine uses <foreach ...> 
constructs which are not in the 'way'. But before I try that I still 
would like to solve it with Velocity first.

Any ideas?

Bart
