[jira] Commented: (OFBIZ-203) Freemarker postal address formatter macro

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-203?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12516855 ] 

Leon Torres commented on OFBIZ-203:
-----------------------------------

Actually, I came up with a much better idea.  It mixes the best ideas in this thread and uses nothing but FTL.  

Why don't we close this and post the alternative ideas as separate issues?  I'll post mine later on once I verify it works.  Then we can reference this issue to the new ones to keep track of the ideas.

> Define a macro <@ofbizPostalAddress address=inputMapOrGenericValue/>  to format postal addresses in a consistent, flexible way with attention to country postal formats.  The output should support both HTML and Text formats.  It should be easily extensible, with future XSL:Fo support in mind.
> I created an implementation as an exercise to learn the freemarker template system.  It was designed with future macros in mind.  Currently implemented are rules for generating US, German and Royal Mail format postal addresses.  (The address country determines the format.)  Also provided are test.bsh and test.ftl so people may try them out.
