Available Velocity Context Objects in Exporters

Since the export functionality is not implemented as a WebWork action, it does not inherit the default Velocity context used by Confluence actions. It creates its own context and populates it with a separate list of components.

All exporters have at least the items listed below. Some exporters may extend this with other objects.

Variable	Description	Class Reference
`$generalUtil`	A `GeneralUtil` object with several useful methods, including URL encoding.	GeneralUtil
`$textUtil`	Common utilities for string manipulation.	TextUtils
`$rendererBean`	Mostly for internal use, but can also be used for manipulating page or space exports.	WikiExporter
`$exportDate`	A `java.util.Date` created when the export is actually performed.	Date
`$exportContent`	An `ExportContext` object which holds the context in which the export is performed, such as the user performing the export.	ExportContext
`$dateFormatter`	Provides a date and time formatter suitable for the exporting user's locale and environment.	DateFormatter
`$baseUrl`	The base URL of the Confluence installation (`http://<server>:<port>/contextPath`).	String
