OK, here is the code, but be aware that I haven't tested the newline
escaping itself and that other things are incomplete:

To use this, change the package line at the top to match your project
and put it in a subdirectory called util.

Add this to your TurbineResources.conf file in the PULL TOOLS section

  # Makes formatting output easier. 
  tool.global.format=com.laserequation.laser.util.FormatTool

Of course change com.laserequation.laser to whatever. 

Now in velocity templates you should be able to do things like

$format.decimal($item.getValue(3).asDoubleObj(), '##.##')

and

$format.newlines($lalala)



Hope that helps.
