Hi Russell,
A brief example to answer your question...

Consider a basic case:
{% blocktrans with adjective=widsom.adjective animal=wisdom.animal %}The {{
adjective }} {{animal}} jumps over the lazy dog, lorem ipsum dolor sit
amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut
labore et dolore magna aliqua."{% endblocktrans %}
*(NB it causes a great deal of pain to have line breaks inside {%
blocktrans %}; advice originally from Jacob Burch's "Gringo's Guide to
Internationalisation
<https://speakerdeck.com/jacob/gringos-guide-to-internationalization>" at
DC 2012)*
If nothing else, multi-line template tags would allow the following (with
variables on their own line) instead:
{% blocktrans with adjective=widsom.adjective animal=wisdom.animal
%}The {{ adjective }} {{animal}} jumps over the lazy dog, lorem ipsum dolor
sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut
labore et dolore magna aliqua."{% endblocktrans %}
which I am by now willing to give my right arm for after two projects spent
hunting for text in lines that span more than 1920px at 14pt.
I'm not thrilled by how this ends up looking, but surely "usable i18n" is
at least as high a priority as "stylistic preference".
The really obvious use case for me is {% url %} — here is a verbatim line
from a current project:
{% url 'workshop_manuscript_detail' workshop_slug=workshop.slug
slug=manuscript.slug as url %}
I'm as much of an opinionated aesthete as the next person, but do people
honestly prefer that over the alternative?
{% url 'workshop_manuscript_detail'
workshop_slug=workshop.slug
slug=manuscript.slug as url %}
As someone said earlier in the thread, making Python programmers deal with
long lines seems like some special form of torture ;)
Cheers,
Carl
