Re: Sending values to a #parsed template...

Hola,

I suggest to take a look into the log. I guess that your $element is invalid...
Also try adding a debugging output with
  $element.class.name

I also suggest to try the #local directive from
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-velocity/whiteboard/geir/Local.java?rev=HEAD
See usage embedded below (but also note that Vel must be configured
to know that it exists).

Geir, could the local directive be extended to take an empty set, and
herewith forcing all new variables into a nested context?

Saludos,
Christoph
