[stringtemplate-interest] trouble loading templates from a file

[Colin Bean]

Actually, I think this is partially 2.3b7's fault.  According to
Terrence (link below), the default group delimiter in 2.3b7 has
changed from "$..$" to "<...>", so in your example 2.3b7 thinks that
"getSite" is an attribute.

To answer your first question, you can include a literal $ or <
(whichever the delimiter is)by just escaping it with a backslash (\$,
\<), but 2.3b will probaby have trouble with the $..$ attributes.  To
change the default delimiter, you need to pass a different lexer to
the StringTemplateGroup constructor.  Here's what's available for 2.2
(so to get 2.2 to behave like 2.3 beta, you'd use an
AngleBracketTemplateLexer):

Don't know what your options are in 2.3b (don't have a copy of it on
hand), but hopefully if you examine the package the names will be be
self explanitory.
