Jarkko Viinamäki resolved VELOCITY-611.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Nice idea but doesn't seem to fit in Velocity Engine project scope as Velocity
is a generic template engine.

> Key: VELOCITY-611
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-611
> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Engine
> Environment: Cross platform
> Reporter: Adrian Tarau
> Priority: Minor
>
> I've always wanted to be able to re-layout a piece of generated text. It was
> a dream of mine since I was a little boy:)
> Even if you generate HTML most of the time the result is pretty ugly(not
> readable) and when it came to generating code(like Java, JavaScript, etc) is
> really important to have readable code.Especially when your trying to "debug"
> something, it is a lot easier to locate the problem with a "pretty" content
> layout.
> In case of JavaScript it is even more problematic, because different browsers
> can fail parsing generated JavaScript just because some separators are not on
> the same line. Of course you can generate your pages, copy the code in
> http://www.jslint.com/ and validate your code but is kind of .. not handy.Or
> you could even compress your generated JavaScript(or HTML) to have a smaller
> content or obfuscate your code a little bit.
> I'm pretty sure these needs are not only mine, so if somebody out there
> already have something (already) implemented(and it can be open sourced) or
> even suggestions about which library to use(I expect we could re-use some of
> the existing libraries to do pretty-print, at least HTML, XML it can be done
> pretty easy and not so easy with JS or Java) please let me know.
> I'm planning to create a public project to host this project and any
> suggestions are welcomed. The library will be designed to be independent of
> Velocity, so other template libraries could benefit of this work.
> Thanks.
