[jira] Commented: (VELOCITY-519) Java escape sequences should work
in Velocity macros
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-519?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12486531 ]
Will Glass-Husain commented on VELOCITY-519:
--------------------------------------------
Nice work, Nathan (and kudos to Stepan) on VELOCITY-520.
I seem to be the only one on this thread who liked the idea of \t, \r, \n. But after thinking about it, I'm worried about compatibility of templates that specify those symbols when generating Java code, so I withdraw my suggestion.
(or at least, I agree we should not do this for any 1.x releases).
