http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17803 allow for multi-line string literals / macro parameters arguments similar to m4 Summary: allow for multi-line string literals / macro parameters arguments similar to m4 Product: Velocity Version: 1.3-rc1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Source AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Ralf Hauser [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Geir Magnusson Jr. Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Allowing NEWLINE in #set for readability Geir, Thanks for the quick answer. The below with the "+"es looks doable. I am about to convert to velocity/vpp coming from m4 (http://www.gnu.org/manual/m4-1.4/m4.html). m4's commenting structure with a different begin ` and end ' syntax is very convenient for nesting and handles newlines very conveniently. Conversely to Bill's quoting proposal with single quotes etc., (see also http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/user-guide.html#Velocimacro%20Miscellany), I suggest that text inside such quotes still gets rendered. Bill had further ideas (e.g. a "connect" directive) on the vpp mailing list --> see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=4015929.
