Setting default value for a email script velocity token

Question

I have this email script that is working correctly: #set( $inTimeZone = $date.getTimeZone().getTimeZone('America/New_York') )

#set( $outTimeZone = $date.getTimeZone().getTimeZone('America/New_York') )

#set( $locale = $date.getLocale() )

#set( $myDate = $convert.parseDate($lead.End_Date_Formula__c,'yyyy-MM-dd',$locale,$inTimeZone) )

${date.format('EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy',$myDate,$locale,$outTimeZone)}  the only thing left is that I want to set the default value, so if the lead.end_date_formula_C is blank, then I want "the end of the month" to appear instead.  Is this on the right track? #if( ${lead.End_Date_Formula__c} == "" )

#set (

If I want to set it to a phrase if it's empty, do I just put

## End of the month

or do I need to write out something to show that it's text I would want to insert in replace of the token.

Basically, if the salesforce field is blank, I want the email script token to insert the default language "the end of the month".

If I want to set it to a phrase if it's empty, do I just put

## End of the month

No, that would be a comment!

You would just put, literally

End of the month

In Velocity, anything not inside a #directive is considered to be plain output.
