Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-203:
-----------------------------------
If I was designing something like this I would follow the pattern in the
current Java formatting classes: Create a PostalAddressFormat class that takes
a formatting string or a Locale object. Pre-defined formatting strings could be
kept in locale-specific properties files - like the UI labels. The
PostalAddressFormat class would take the supplied Locale, look up the
formatting string, and format the address. Simple and extensible.
PostalAddressFormat paf = PostalAddressFormat.getInstance(someLocale);
String formattedAddress = paf.parse(somePostalAddress);
The formattedAddress String could be converted to HTML or whatever.

> Define a macro <@ofbizPostalAddress address=inputMapOrGenericValue/> to
> format postal addresses in a consistent, flexible way with attention to
> country postal formats. The output should support both HTML and Text
> formats. It should be easily extensible, with future XSL:Fo support in mind.
> I created an implementation as an exercise to learn the freemarker template
> system. It was designed with future macros in mind. Currently implemented
> are rules for generating US, German and Royal Mail format postal addresses.
> (The address country determines the format.) Also provided are test.bsh and
> test.ftl so people may try them out.
