Basic Introduction to Velocity - Confluence User Guides and Documents

A variable in velocity looks like this:

$foo

To set a variable:

#set ($message = "Hello")

A basic if statement:

#if ($message == "Hello")
   Message received and is "Hello"
#end

A velocity variable which evaluates to null will simply render as the variable name. See the Velocity User's Guide
