Funkybob (Curtis Maloney) implemented a multiline template tag patch nearly two years ago. He asked for feedback a number of times and received none. I think there's enough support here that if someone were to implement a patch, it'd probably be accepted. Adding the same argument as to why multiline tags would be useful isn't helpful anymore. The arguments have been made.
Adrian requested the pros/cons be written up as a DEP. Curtis began one but it seems to have disappeared, I assume because there was lack of review or interest. If you feel strongly enough for this change please feel free to write up a DEP or even a patch that implements multiline tags, paying particular attention to ensure performance isn't hindered (as discussed above). Core devs have only so much time to work on features. If a feature isn't more important to them than something else, chances are it won't get implemented by them. Everyone is free to (and encouraged to!) implement features themselves. A core dev will review it. Non core developers are also free to (and encouraged to) review it. I know it sounds like I'm putting forth the "PRs accepted" brush off line, but there's elements of truth in that statement. Curtis wrote a patch and no one tested it. How important is this feature again?
