I agree whitespace filtering is a hot topic. I'll check those links, but I'm not sure I'll be able to provide something for 2.0, though... Claude On 22/07/2016 08:58, Sergiu Dumitriu wrote:
One thing that would be nice to have is the custom whitespace filter that the {{velocity}} macro has: see http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Velocity+Macro#HParamet... and http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Velocity+Macro+Filter
Basically, Velocity only supports literal whitespace processing, with every space and newline going into the output, while we like to be able to indent our sources without padding the output with lots of extra spaces.

Hi.
I'm currently working on Velocity 2.0 packaging.
If that's OK with you, I would like to incorporate DeprecatedCheckUberspector.java into Velocity, but I need a statement from your part to be able to change its licence to Apache 2.0 (LGPL and Apache 2.0 licences aren't compatible). Thanks for reaching out. A big +1 from me too. The more we can move to Velocity the better it is.
By the way, I take this opportunity to tell you that if there is another specific part of xwiki-commons-velocity that you think should be integrated on our side, or an important missing feature you'd like to insist on, don't hesitate. I already integrated VELOCITY-825, for instance, so String->Enum constant conversions are now handled by Velocity. There may be other important conversion cases you'd like to see handled. Ok cool.
On your side, if you see other issues that you’d be willing to integrate let us know.
Thanks -Vincent
