Ondra Žižka updated FREEMARKER-20:
----------------------------------
Description:
I'd like to be able to have the NEW LINE generated conditionally, with 1 line
of template source code.
I haven't found a way.
{code}
<#if
dep.classifier??><classifier>${dep.classifier}</classifier></#if>
{code}
This generates the indent spaces and the newline, no matter what.
{{#t}} and {{#rt}} and {{#lt}} apply at compile time, so they don't care about
the condition. So they strip even if the content is there, which I don't want.
I could do this:
{code}
<#if dep.classifier??>${"
"}<classifier>${dep.classifier}</classifier>${"\n"}</#if><#t>
{code}
So that's the request. It can also be anything what helps me achieve that.
Until then, I have to do:
{code}
<#if dep.classifier??>
<classifier>${dep.classifier}</classifier>
</#if>
{code}
Which I don't like because it makes the templates way longer.
Or
{code}
<#if dep.classifier??><classifier>${dep.classifier}</classifier>
</#if><#if
dep.classifier??><classifier>${dep.classifier}</classifier>
</#if>
...
{code}
Which I don't like because it's messy.
Or
{code}
<#if dep.classifier??>${"
"}<classifier>${dep.classifier}</classifier>${"\n"}</#if><#t>
{code}
Which I don't like because it adds superfluous pieces to the template.
