| <dt><a href="engine/index.html">Velocity Engine</a></dt> |
| <dd> |
| This is the actual templating engine which does all the work. |
| If you came here because you heard about Velocity somewhere on |
| the web, this is probably the right place to start. |
| </dd> |
| |
| <dt><a href="tools/index.html">Velocity Tools</a></dt> |
| <dd> |
| This project contains tools and other useful infrastructure |
| to build web- and non-web application using the Velocity |
| engine. You will find e.g. code for |
| <a href="http://struts.apache.org/">Struts</a> |
| integration or the standalone Velocity View Servlet here. |
| </dd> |
| |
| <dt><a href="dvsl/">Velocity DVSL</a></dt> |
| <dd> |
| DVSL (Declarative Velocity Style Language) is a tool modeled |
