Your case is when you type $ in the docx. I think that should be forbidden 
because $ crashes the Velocity. If you have some idea to resolve that, don't 
hesitate.

The $ happen to be a dollar sign for cash amount, which unfortunately is going 
to occur in many documents.   I thought  XDocReport only supposed to  parse 
stuff
that is a MergeField ?  If the $ sign is not in the Merge field, is it possible 
to replace
it with some other encoding(or put a empty space behind it), to escape the $ 
sign ? 

I guess this is also a velocity issue, in that it should not recognize "$___" 
as a special 
tokens, and should just ignore it as plain strings.

Thanks.

Hi,

I understand your need, so I have implemented your idea with Freemarker and 
Velocity for docx+odt where template engine is evaluated only for mergefield 
(for Velocity, #[[ ]]# is used and for Freemarker [#noparse][/#noparse]).

By default, the whole XML entry (ex: word/document.xml for Docx, content.xml 
for ODT, etc) is evaluated by the template engine. If you wish evaluate only 
directive coming from mergefield, you must customize FieldsMetadata like this : 

------------------------------------------------------------------
FieldsMetadata metadata = report.createFieldsMetadata();
metadata.setEvaluateEngineOnlyForFields( true );
------------------------------------------------------------------

I have tested with your docx and it works. This feature is commited on Git. 

Regards Angelo
