Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-203:
-----------------------------------
If I was designing something like this I would follow the pattern in the current Java formatting classes: Create a PostalAddressFormat class that takes a formatting string or a Locale object. Pre-defined formatting strings could be kept in locale-specific properties files - like the UI labels. The PostalAddressFormat class would take the supplied Locale, look up the formatting string, and format the address. Simple and extensible.
PostalAddressFormat paf = PostalAddressFormat.getInstance(someLocale);
String formattedAddress = paf.parse(somePostalAddress);
The formattedAddress String could be converted to HTML or whatever.

> Define a macro <@ofbizPostalAddress address=inputMapOrGenericValue/> to format postal addresses in a consistent, flexible way with attention to country postal formats. The output should support both HTML and Text formats. It should be easily extensible, with future XSL:Fo support in mind.
> I created an implementation as an exercise to learn the freemarker template system. It was designed with future macros in mind. Currently implemented are rules for generating US, German and Royal Mail format postal addresses. (The address country determines the format.) Also provided are test.bsh and test.ftl so people may try them out.
