Is it possible to continue processing instead of throwing a ParseErrorException?
Just wondering if it is possible to skip bad merge fields and just have it
try to continue? The use case is that we want to present the processed
text, even if it has errors, to the end user so that the error can be
visually seen
e.g
Dear $!{user.firstName}, welcome to $!{club.n<span
style="font-size:12">ame}</span>
Would show up as
Dear Johnny, welcome to $!{club.n<span style="font-size:12">ame}</span>

On the other hand, Velocity could fail completely and show the original
template source. That's not a great solution IMO, though because it
could expose all kinds of things to a remote user.

Velocity uses a JavaCC generated parser. So far as i know, JavaCC
doesn't support this kind of soft-fail parsing.
