If you need multi-line bodies, then you are best off sticking to
directives for now. If you don't need or want line breaks in your
body, then a tool will be fine.
The helpful thing in Velocity 1.5 is that you can have multi-line
string literals, interpolated strings, method calls, and directive
calls. So you could do:
$tool.body(
"This is a $adjective body.
It has two lines."
)
with tool, where before you'd have had to do
$tool.body("This is a $adjective body.${br}It has two lines.")
Where the value of $br is a line break character.
Of course, we have yet to release Velocity 1.5 though it is extremely
stable and much superior to 1.4, because some of us (occasionally
including myself) are rather determined to knock off a few more old,
obscure bugs first, but haven't made the time to do it. All the new
features are done though, so there shouldn't be any more API changes.

Nathan,
I don't think "tools" will work for us for now because of the body tag
requirements. Perhaps Velocity 1.5 will help?
