[jira] Commented: (MSITE-294) Can't escape ${project.version} as plain text inside apt +---- section, on *.apt.vm files

["Lukas Theussl (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-294?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=140752#action_140752 ] 

Lukas Theussl commented on MSITE-294:
-------------------------------------

The following works:

{source}
+----
  This project version is ${project.version} and comes from the \${project.version} property.
+----
{source}

I don't think that this is a bug even if it's not very intuitive. If you use slashes inside apt verbatim text they will render as-is (that's what verbatim text is supposed to do), so all you need is prevent velocity from filtering the property, which you do by escaping the $.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-6
>         Environment: *.apt.vm files, and +----- escaped section.

> You can reproduce this the following way.....
> ./src/site/index.apt.vm (start)
> --------------------------------------------------
> This will appear without the backslashes {noformat}$\{project.version\}{noformat} and that's excellent. But you can't get this output in the escaped apt text section below.
> {noformat}
> +---
> However this apt escaped section still shows the backslashes inside this section $\{project.version\} and there is no known way the text can be shown as above.
> To make matters worse, when you put this in without the backslashes, you get the properties value (like a filter). See: ${project.version} not the desired string as above

> {noformat}
