Rendering problem?
I am currenlty having a problem rendering text that contains Html tags.
In my template I have the following that uses a regular expression to
wrap all of the $words found within $text with the Html tags
(startHighlight and endHighlight).
--------
#set($text = "some sample text")
#set($words = ["some", "text"]) ## String array
#set($startHighlight = "<b>")
#set($endHighlight = "</b>")
## this function returns a String with the $words found in $text
## wrapped with $startHighlight and $endHighlight
$highlighter.hightlight($text, $words, $startHighlight, $endHighlight)
---------
Ideally, this would be rendered as:
"<b>some</b> sample <b>text</b>"
but Velocity is replacing < with < and > with > and returns:
"<b>some</b> sample <b>text</b>"
Therefore the browser shows the text surrounded with the tags when I
would like the text to be bold.
Is there a way to tell Velocity to not render < and > as < and >?
thanks,
Kelly

the link is something the browser uses ..
but foobar.vm is a template used by your servlet internally
try http://myserver.com/<pathtoservlet>#bottom

For navigation internal to a page, I use this:
<a href=#45> FAQ question </a>,
which when clicked, goes to this:
<a name=45></a>FAQ Answer.
For external navigation to that location, I include this url in a template:
<a href="$myurl#45">FAQ question</a>
Works just fine.

Terry

Why doesn¹t http://foo/bar.vm#bottom work?

You're going to end up getting pissed at your software

anchors a' weigh, me boys

How would I point to a named anchor within an html page? For example, if I
want to direct the browser to display the end of the page
I'd create an anchor for it:
<a name="bottom"></a>
and call it with the # appended to the url:
http://myserver.com/foobar.vm#bottom
I've RTFM'd and tried this within a template by escaping the #,
e.g., http://myserver.com/foobar.vm\#bottom but that doesn't work.
This must be fairly simple. A hint would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce

Cool beans. Post it to turbine then. They are a friendly lot as well...

Geir,
I just finished testing this problem with the SampleServlet example and
it works as it should.
So something in Turbine is causing my problem.

Re: Rendering problem?
Posted by Kelly Ray Jensen <ke...@myrealbox.com>.
Geir,
Thanks for the promp reply.
I will look at my code again and make sure.
I am using Turbine, could that be causing the problem?
I did a test in one of my templates with the following
#set($text = "<testing>")
$text
And I was getting the same problem as below.
I think it might be the Turbine layer between my application and
Velocity that is causing the problem.
I am going to try the example webapp that comes with Velocity and try
running the same template throught it.
I'll let you know what happends.
As everyone else says: Velocity rocks!

Velocity is doing no such thing :)
Velocity has no care or clue what your output is, and will never modify your
output no matter what you are doing with it.

Can you show us the source code for the highlighter? Another possibility is
that the your application is using reference insertion event handling to
escape the < and >.
