[stringtemplate-interest] proposed "ignore newlines" template syntax

[Jonathan Buhacoff]

You could take that idea even further and only escape "" if it's on a line by itself or followed only by whitespace.

t() ::= "" 
System.out.println("no need to escape double quotes");
No need to escape double-double quotes ("") either unless they are on a line by themselves:
\""
""
