Henri Biestro commented on JEXL-177:
------------------------------------

Documentation might be confusing and it may not fit your style but you could use something like:
{code}
$$ if (item != null) {
<package>${item}</package>
$$ }
{code}
In templates (vs expressions), lines that begin with '$$' allow writing script fragments and you get access to the full syntax (var, functions, etc).
Other lines are interpolated.

>            Reporter: Dmitri Blinov
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Introduce new string literals to jexl script that allow unified expressions to be used, string literals could use for example triple quoted (single or double) syntax for delimiters, may include newlines and should not escape single quotes
> {code}
> user = "Bob"; server = "Test"; s = """Hello ${user}, welcome to ${server}"""; return s;
> {code}
