[antlr-interest] Another question......

[Hill, Robert]

Hi all,,
	<gasp> another question... :)

Im using the stringtemplate as the final code formatting phase of my tool trying to follow the separation of model/view etc, and was wondering if there was anyway of formating the strings in the template, kind of like you would  with sprintf?.. What I'd like to do would be something along the lines of

$name; separator = "\n"; format = "%.10s"$

At the moment I have a switch {} that checks which destination style im outputting in, and then formats the string before the 

xxx.setAttribute("name",myformattedstring);

If there isn't already a way of doing this (I don't see it in the string template docs) then is there any reason why this wouldn't be a good idea since it makes the view deal with any formatting, taking more output specifics away from the model?

If so I might have a bash at modding (read: messing up) stringtemplate :)

Cheers,
/2ob

Ps..If this isn't the list for stringtemplate discussion, could someone point me in the right direction?
