Escaping TEL grammar

If you want to output text that is recognized as TEL grammar, you must escape this text. For example, if you want to output ##ALERT!##, you will see that this string is not included in the output since it is recognized as a line comment.

To output this string, you need to enclose it in the un-parsed content keywords #[[ and ]]#.

Template example
Template	Output
#[[##ALERT!##]]# #set($abc=123) $abc #[[#set($def=456) $def]]#	##ALERT!## #set($def=456) $def

To escape valid TEL references (# and $), there is an alternative escape mechanism. If you for example have a variable named $sum and want to output the string $sum, you can escape the dollar sign ($) with a backslash.

Template example
Template	Output
#set($abc=123) $abc Value of \$abc above is defined using \#set()	Value of $abc above is defined using #set()
