[stringtemplate-interest] Line continuation escape

[Terence Parr]

whoa. hmm...I see this in tests:

    public void testLineBreak() throws Exception {
        StringTemplate st = new StringTemplate(
                "Foo <\\\\>"+newline+
                "  \t  bar" +newline,
                AngleBracketTemplateLexer.class
                );
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        st.write(new AutoIndentWriter(sw,"\n")); // force \n as newline
        String result = sw.toString();
        String expecting ="Foo bar"+newline;     // expect \n in output
        assertEquals(expecting, result);
    }

    public void testLineBreak2() throws Exception {
        StringTemplate st = new StringTemplate(
                "Foo <\\\\>       "+newline+
                "  \t  bar" +newline,
                AngleBracketTemplateLexer.class
                );
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        st.write(new AutoIndentWriter(sw,"\n")); // force \n as newline
        String result = sw.toString();
        String expecting ="Foo bar"+newline;     // expect \n in output
        assertEquals(expecting, result);
    }

    public void testLineBreakNoWhiteSpace() throws Exception {
        StringTemplate st = new StringTemplate(
                "Foo <\\\\>"+newline+
                "bar" +newline,
                AngleBracketTemplateLexer.class
                );
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        st.write(new AutoIndentWriter(sw,"\n")); // force \n as newline
        String result = sw.toString();
        String expecting ="Foo bar"+newline;     // expect \n in output
        assertEquals(expecting, result);
    }

    public void testLineBreakDollar() throws Exception {
        StringTemplate st = new StringTemplate(
                "Foo $\\\\$"+newline+
                "  \t  bar" +newline,
                DefaultTemplateLexer.class
                );
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        st.write(new AutoIndentWriter(sw,"\n")); // force \n as newline
        String result = sw.toString();
        String expecting ="Foo bar"+newline;     // expect \n in output
        assertEquals(expecting, result);
    }

Can you derive from that?  Are you using latest ST?
