[FreeMarker-user] Is it possible to assign multiple macro calls into an array

[Albert K. <moo...@gm...>]

Hello !

I know this is absurd example, but instead of doing these repetitive row
macro calls on each comment :
<@commentbox>
    <@row>
        <@comment id=1 />
    </@row>
    <@row>
        <@comment id=2 />
    </@row>
    <@row>
        <@comment id=1 />
    </@row>
</@commentbox>

It'll be simpler if i could do something like this :
<@commentbox>
  <#assign comments=[
        <@comment id=1 />,
        <@comment id=2 />,
        <@comment id=1 />
  ]>
  <@wrapInRow comments />
</@commentbox>

I know we can nest macro result within the assign tag, but it doesnt solve
the repetitiveness of the assign tag calls.

Is this supported or planned ? Or perhaps there's a pattern for this
situation ?

Thank you !
