-----------------------------------------
Christopher,
It is not easy to work with some UTF-8 characters in Velocity template. For
example, it is hard to maintain code with em dash in text editor with fixed
width font. With some unicode characters, like non-breakable space, it is not
possible to work in the most text editors.
BTW, you are not right, that java mandates ISO-8859-1:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:...ft/velocity/engine-trunk]% javac -help |& grep encoding
-encoding <encoding> Specify character encoding used by source files
Another reason for unicode escapes is that my company mandates that all source
files must be in windows-1251.
I personally don't need \r or \n escapes, but I think they should be enabled in
version 2.0.
