[stringtemplate-interest] if-condition in subtemplates

[Sindre Svendby]

Hi, I having problems with if-condition in subtemplate's (template's
that invokes other template's)

Imagine I _dont_ have a var called nVar and call firstTemplate:

----
group templ;

firstTemplate() ::= <<
$if(!nVar)$
    $subTempl(...)$
$endif$
>>

subTempl() ::= <<
$if(!nVar)$                <--- Reporting
java.util.NoSuchElementException: no such attribute: nVar in template
context
    ..whatever..
$endif$
>>
----

In the StringTemplate Documentation it stand "IF actions test the
presence or absence of an attribute unless the object is a Boolean, in
which case it tests the attribute for true/false."

Is this error intentional? Is there any work-arounds, or have I just
no clue about what I'm doing :)
I have this problem with StringTemplate Group Files.
