[stringtemplate-interest] "Allowing enclosing attributes to pass through"

[Brain, Jim]

I'm having trouble getting my attributes to pass through to an sub template:

            StringTemplateGroup stg = new StringTemplateGroup("Source");
            stg.defineTemplate("Banner","$stuff: {$it$;\n}$");
            StringTemplate st = stg.defineTemplate("Parser","$Banner(stuff=\"Jim\", ...)$");
            st.setAttribute("stuff","Jack");
            System.out.println(st.toString());

I refactored Parser into Parser and Banner, but now when I pass stuff="" into Banner, it completely hides the stuff value set in the Parser template.  Is there any way to unhide?  I read the same named section from the documentation, which suggested the '...' notation, but that does not appear to change the behavior.

Jim
