It *is* possible to add an arbitrary separator, combining the remarks
I made earlier. Remember that componentsSeparatedByAnd returns an
array (a collection) which you can use in a collection tag:
<$fields.Address.componentsSeparatedByAnd><$self/><?
$fields.Address.componentsSeparatedByAnd>/</
$fields.Address.componentsSeparatedByAnd>
BTW, it is preferable to use fields.Address rather than just Address.
And instead of "self" the key "description" or "stringDescription"
would also work.
