Comment:
This looks a lot like two requests in one ticket and we all know how that
isn't a good approach.
1. Multiline template tags aren't going to happen. We've made a decision
on that plenty of times.
2. Adding a whole extra way to write template tags just to support this
one particular use-case when you could just as easily write a shorter
template tag for your own use is adding a bunch of maintenance overhead to
Django for not a lot of gain. We have to keep the code correct, keep the
documentation correct, explain it to people, incorporate the testing
overhead, etc. Not worth it. If you have a need to do this a lot and don't
want to write out "templatetag", write a shorter tag that calls
templatetag internally. Or write a pre-processor for your templates. But
this isn't worth adding code to Django for.
