[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-391?page=all ]
Will Glass-Husain updated VELOCITY-391:
---------------------------------------
Bugzilla Id: (was: 35658)
Fix Version: (was: 1.5)
Almost. You can now use a special EscapeXmlReference event handler to escape
all references. It doesn't work on general text.
I'm going to leave this issue open, but put it as unscheduled. Thanks again
for the suggestion.
> Provide better syntax for converting XML entities
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: VELOCITY-391
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-391
> Project: Velocity
> Type: Improvement
> Components: Source
> Versions: 1.4
> Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: Other
> Reporter: bob.tarling
> Priority: Minor
>
> I'm using velocity to persist my applications data in XML format. The problem
> is
> with converting special XML characters to entities.
> I have read the developers guide here
> http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/developer-guide.html#Velocity%20and%20XML
> I'm wondering if the developers would consider some addition to the velocity
> syntax to help with this instead. I can't help think that generation of XML
> must
> be a common requirement for velocity users and a shortcut syntax would help
> keep
> templates looking neater.
> How about the likes of the following to display a field with automatic
> conversion of XML characters to entities.
> <p>The clients name is $&clientName</p>
> So the client name John O'Connor becomes
> <p>The clients name is John O'Connor</p>
> There are alternatives, such as having a specific file type.
> e.g. .xvm as opposed to .vm
> A secondary advantage to this is that syntax highlighters could be devised to
> recognise and highlight both the XML and the template code.
