Any way to evaluate an expression without generating empty line on output?

[Colbert Philippe <co...@rogers.com>]

I am writing and using Velocity macros.  Inside the macro, I evaluate certain expressions using $!somexpression.  However, I noticed that Velocity generates an empty line for each of the silent expression line.   That's annoying!   Does anybody have a solution?

I believe you can use:

$!someexpression ##

and the ## will essentially "comment out" the newline at the end.

I've done this for macros that can't contain extra whitespace (i.e.  
generating URLs).

Use !$something.
