#set command inside non-command

[Mike Bridge <br...@partslink.com>]

I have some html in a velocity page which includes a url that looks
something
like this:

   <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/whatever.html#setupsomething.html">

When it gets parsed, I get an error that says it's expecting a parenthesis
but received "upsomething" instead.  I'm aware of a workaround for this
for the moment:

   #set($hashmark="#")
   <a
href="http://www.mydomain.com/whatever.html${hashmark}setupsomething.html">

However, it seems like this is a problem with the tokenization of that
string;
shouldn't it assume that "setupsomething" is one word, and fail on that
word?

Or is there another way around this?  I have some "trusted" users who are
entering
html with a small amount of velocity code via a web form, and I don't want
them to
get bitten by that....

Thanks,

-Mike

what version of velocity are you using?  it seems to me that this is
something that has come up before ( #setfoo errors ) and i think it was
fixed at some point.

If getting the latest Velocity doesn't work (or if you already had 
the latest version), try single quotes instead of double quotes. 
That's how I prevented the following from looking like it contains a 
comment:

#set( $PERCENT_FORMAT = '###,###,###.0' )
