I'm trying to create a new document (page) and have the page reference a template. For example: #set($mydoc = $xwiki.getDocument("$myblogpage")) #if($mydoc.isNew()) ##new page created #set($content = "#template('blogmacros.vm')") $mydoc.setContent("$content") $mydoc.save() #end The problem is that all of the velocity statements are processed when added the template is added to the to the page. I tried to prevent processing by wrapping #template(.... with {pre}{pre} but it had no effect. So I tried to copy the document which already referrs to the template but this fails without any error message and never hits my breakpoint in XWiki.copyDocument #if(!$xwiki.exists("$myblogpage")) #if($xwiki.copyDocument($testpage , $myblogpage)) ##successfully copied #else ##failed to copy #end #end It seems like this should be easy what am I missing? Thanks for any help.
