Removed linebreak after macro calling

[Matthias Keller <ma...@ergon.ch>]

Hi

I've defined a macro purely for convenience to avoid long method calls 
inside my template. It looks like this:

#getProperty('name')
#getProperty('function')
#getProperty('department')

Since this is plaintext (not html), whitespaces do matter, but the 
result is like this:

namefunctiondepartment

instead of

name
function
department

To fix this I have to insert an extra empty line between every call.... 
is there another way to do that? It looks really awful in the template 
to have so many empty lines

Thanks

Matt

Can't you insert the extra line in the macro body itself?  If not, you
can always do something like:

context.put("n", "\n");

and then

#getProperty('name')$n

or if you are using VelocityTools, the EscapeTool has a getN() method:

#getProperty('name')$esc.n
