This does sound frustrating. A candidate for Velocity 1.5.1.
I'm trying to catch up on some Velocity-related stuff this week; let me take a look at this. WILL On 6/5/07, Nathan Bubna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I stumbled across essentially the same issue while i was trying to find a reliable workaround for http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-537. Something is rotten when it comes to parsing multi-line comments in complex macro/foreach structures. I'm going to be focused on VelocityTools for a couple weeks. After that, if things are still slow with my company, i'll try to find some time to dig into the parser and learn enough to figure out what's going wrong. > -- Erlend Simonsen > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
