Here's a discussion linked from #3888 in which Malcolm lays out in brief why multiline tags have been rejected: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/django-developers/A17TJWd3YJU Personally I'd be -0 at worst on multiline tags, but I also don't see any compelling use-cases. I think tags on a single line are significantly easier to parse visually. > Its interesting to note that > https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3888, which is referenced in the > issue, is also closed as "won't fix", but appears to be allowed in > 1.3.1. So there is a precedent for "won't fix" issues being included. There is indeed precedent for wontfix decisions being reversed, but this isn't one. The lexing bug revealed in #3888 that caused multiline {# #} to sorta kinda work in a broken way had its own ticket opened (#4164) and was fixed. In any recent Django, including 1.3.1 and 1.4 beta, multiline {# #} does not work at all.
