Error in chapter "Escaping VTL Directives" in the User Guide

          Description

          the manual says

          Consider the following case:
          #if( $jazz )
          Vyacheslav Ganelin
          #end

          Whether $jazz is true or false, the output will be
          #if($ jazz )
          Vyacheslav Ganelin
          #end

          However, since the #if is escaped, $jazz will be evaluated, to the output will be

          #if(true)
          Vyacheslav Ganelin
          #end

          or

          #if(false)
          Vyacheslav Ganelin
          #end

          respectively (depending on the value of $jazz)

            thanks for reporting this – we'll investigate. just to confirm, did you actually test that bit of VTL?

            You know, if you have some time, it would be great if you could take a look at

            http://people.apache.org/~henning/velocity/pdf/VelocityUsersGuide.pdf (Chapter 3.4)
            or
            http://people.apache.org/~henning/velocity/html/ch03s04.html

            and proof-read it. I did test all examples in there and I'd really appreciate feedback. Thanks.

            reassigning this to 1.6 so we can track this. but I think it won't matter if we get the updated guide out with its new examples.
