Description

Velocity templates should be able to specify their own encoding without
requiring external knowledge of the encoding before parsing (as least
for all ASCII-compatible encodings). Many other scripting/templating
systems (like JSP and python, for example) provide such a mechanism,
and find it helpful to users when creating multi-language (and encoding) sites.
