no, you would need to do this with the template string however, you can do LOTS of very interesting things with the template string for example, when I was having trouble figuring out why a log was parsing inforrectly I had a format string something like "\n%raw%\n%fromhost-ip%\n%hostname%\n%fromhost%" which would output a blank line, followed by a line containing the entire message, followed by three lines showing the values of those three fields with multi-line output like this you can easily send lots of different things to your script and have it handle it easily.
