Description

When using a velocity template for XML output. I encounter tabbing issues when using an IF statement. Below you can find an example of what is happening:

Template which produces erroneous tabbing:

#foreach($order in $orderList)
<type>
#if("$order.type" == "AZ")
<AZ>
<fiveYears>$order.typeVar1</fiveYears>
<thirtyNineMonths>$order.typeVar2</thirtyNineMonths>
</AZ>
#end
</type>
#end

Output of erroneous tabbing:
<type>
<AZ>
<fiveYears>true</fiveYears>
<thirtyNineMonths>false</thirtyNineMonths>
</AZ>
</type>

If I remove the indentation from the #if and #end then the output is normal. Having to remove the indentation is undesirable as it makes the template difficult to read.

Template with removed indentation for #if and #end:

#foreach($order in $orderList)
<type>
#if("$order.type" == "AZ")
<AZ>
<fiveYears>$order.typeVar1</fiveYears>
<thirtyNineMonths>$order.typeVar2</thirtyNineMonths>
</AZ>
#end
</type>
#end

Output with indentation for #if and #end removed;
<type>
<AZ>
<fiveYears>true</fiveYears>
<thirtyNineMonths>false</thirtyNineMonths>
</AZ>
</type>
