Thanks for you help thus far.

As for the milti-line question I was making reference
to embedded field with (multi-line) content:

{@fieldname:[some content here]}
{@fieldname:[
   some more multi-line

]}

and field without content can be represented as:

{@fieldname} 
{@fieldname:[]} // same as {@fieldname}
