Nathan Bubna resolved VELOCITY-601.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Later
Fix Version/s: 2.0
"test test test" is not a valid reference name. therefore, reference escaping
syntax does not work. i realize that is a bit confusing, but that is why this
fails. the \$ syntax is for escaping valid references. if you are trying to
prevent velocity from considering ${test test test} to be an invalid reference
and throwing a parse exception, you should follow the advice given in the JIRA
issue which you cloned:
#set( $D = '$' )
$D{test test test}
or (if you use the EscapeTool from VelocityTools):
$esc.d{test test test}
there are no planned or intended updates to the escaping syntax in the 1.x
series (i.e. \$ will continue to only work for valid references). this is
something that may well be changed in version 2, though.
