Leon Torres commented on OFBIZ-203:
-----------------------------------
I recommend giving the ftl and bsh files a shot to see what output it can generate. It's pretty neat the way it currently works and probably needs some API documentation for those wishing to use it.
I guess another benefit of a java method formatter is speed. The intent was to support large lists of address in inline mode. We need it for display purposes and maybe dropdown lists. (Using HTML with CSS to display UL lists as inline slows things down a lot.)

> Key: OFBIZ-203

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-203> Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project)
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Reporter: Leon Torres
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: ofbizPostalAddress.patch, test.bsh, test.ftl
>
>
> 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.
