I’m using the recommended view engine NVelocity.

The following objects are available to the view code: • context (IRailsEngineContext) • request • response • session • All entries in the request (if any) • All entries in the Flash (if any) • All entries in the PropertyBag (if any)

Also, a siteRoot string is added so you can build url definitions like: $siteRoot/home/index.rails <img src="$siteRoot/images/someimage.gif" />

**Notation (variable name): **

$ [ ! ][ { ][ a..z, A..Z ][ a..z, A..Z, 0..9, -, _ ][ } ]

Examples:

• Normal notation: $mud-Slinger_9

• Silent notation: $!mud-Slinger_9

• Formal notation: ${mud-Slinger_9}
