String Templates Formatting for """ Multi-Line is "not nice" about google-java-format

[cushon]

@vorburger the illegal escape character error is because you're running the formatting on JDK 17, which predates string template support. Using JDK 21 instead will resolve that error.

Agreed. The extra line-break happens with 1.19.2, version 1.19.1 does not introduce it.

[cushon]

I agree this is not ideal. I think the specific change in 1.19.2 was 38de9c4, prior to that code inside \{ ... } wasn't getting reformatted at all. I think we want to keep formatting complex expressions inside placeholders, but it would be nice to avoid the line breaks in this situation.

This works great (~leaves it alone) for "single line", e.g. var html = STR."<table class="{cssClass}">";

Or does it? I just ran into the following, and am surprised I didn't run into this previously (it's likely because I reinstalled tools from scratch, so it's possible my google-java-format changed and upgraded, it looks like it's running the latest 1.19.2 now, as configured, it's possible I may have been running an older version before somehow, I'm not 100% sure anymore):
