You mean it already does that. (I suppose it's smart enough to do it
only inside the FreeMarker directives and interpolations or else it
would corrupt the XML.)

You said you un-escape the FTL parts, so what do you mean by
"escaped"? From use perspective it's maybe needless complication,
creating a field, and then also delimit its content with ${...}. I
don't want to be difficult here, just trying to figure out what would
be needed for this on FreeMarker's side, if anything...

(I have almost renamed DollarVariable to DollarInterpolation, it being
a non-public class. Then after I saw that code earlier, I have
realized it would break XDocReport... and who knows what else.)

There's a high chance that *if* anyone will do that, that will be me.
Although I have to say that I don't know yet how difficult that will
be...

Of course, anything that (properly) supports FreeMarker is a good
thing as far as I'm concerned...

I think that's alone isn't a that big issue. The user can fix the
errors as they pop up, until there's none, and that's it. So is this
really a blocking issue for the DLTK-based plugin?
