-------------------------------------------------------------------

The "parser.allows.dash.identifiers" mention is a reference to a long disappeared \
name for this property.

The property name is "parser.allow_hyphen_in_identifiers", and it's a hyphen, we're \
all good.

[~calvernaz] Thanks for catching this documentation glitch!

> Regarding the use of hypens on identifiers, the documentation doesn't look \
> consistent. Which one is recommended?   \
> [Here|https://velocity.apache.org/engine/2.3/configuration.html] states the \
>                 following:
> *{{parser.allow_hyphen_in_identifiers = false}}*
> {quote}This is a backward compatibility option, false by default, which allows the \
> '{*}{{-}}{*}' character inside variable identifiers (available since 2.1). If \
> enabled, be warned that you will have to surround the mathematical minus sign with \
> spaces for it to be correctly interpreted. {quote}
> 
> But [here|https://velocity.apache.org/engine/2.3/vtl-reference.html], the \
> configuration is different:   {quote}{{If the  *parser.allows.dash.identifiers*}} \
> configuration value is set to true, then the *-* dash is also allowed in \
> identifiers (and must be surrounded by spaces to be interpreted as an arithmetic \
> minus operator).}} {quote}
