Description

Since the version 3.5 any skin using custom velocity tools is no longer working.

This can be seen on the Reflow maven skin, and also on my own skin, which was developed from the Reflow one.

The Reflow skin, along its Velocity tools, can be found here:
https://github.com/andriusvelykis/reflow-maven-skin

My Maven skin can be found here:
https://github.com/Bernardo-MG/docs-maven-skin

My custom velocity tools:
https://github.com/Bernardo-MG/maven-site-fixer

All these projects are available through Maven central, making them easy to test.

To see this problem just use the Reflow skin, which won't print the content of any page. In the case of my own skin, there will be several errors in the HTML code, the most visible being the broken headers.

It may be actually a Doxia problem, related to this issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DOXIASITETOOLS-93

Additionally, there is a related link commenting this problem:
