Jarkko Viinamäki updated VELOCITY-785:
--------------------------------------

    Attachment: velocity-785.patch

Here's a patch that will modify Velocity to act as Claude suggested. I agree that it is more logical that way.

>             Project: Velocity
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Engine
>    Affects Versions: 2.0
>         Environment: any

> The template:
> #set($double_double = """") ## ok
> #set($single_single = '''') ## ok
> #set($double_single = "''") ## strange, equals "'"
> #set($single_double = '""') ## strange, equals '"'
> double_double = $double_double
> single_single = $single_single
> double_single = $double_single
> single_double = $single_double
> renders as:
> "
> '
> '
> "
> whereas one would expect:
> "
> '
> ''
> ""
> More readily, one would expect single quotes doubling mechanism and double quotes doubling mechanism to only be active inside single quotes and double quotes, respectively.
