@DefaultKey("mark") public class MarkupTool extends SafeConfig
NOTE: This tools is considered "alpha" quality due to lack of testing and a generally unpolished API. Feel free to use but expect changes. Also, this is not automatically provided via the default tools.xml file.

A tool to make it easy to generate XML or HTML on the fly. It uses a CSS-type syntax with a vaguely jQuery-ish API to help you generate the markup you need.

 Example uses in a template:
   #set( $foospan = $markup.span.id($foo.id).body($foo) )
   $markup.tag('table tr.bar td').body("This is $foospan")

 Output:
   
This is my first foo.
Example tools.xml config: <tools> <toolbox scope="application"> <tool class="org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.alpha.MarkupTool"/> </toolbox> </tools>
