I submitted a PR with the changes to
- remove the newline() function
- add the character('name') function as an official function
- document the function
- display the special characters as escape sequences in the template editor/debugger.
- make the 'strip()' changes discussed above. This change applies only to GPM templates.
It is in source.
I implemented 'newline', 'tab', 'return', and 'backslash'. 'quote' and 'double_quote' aren't needed, and I decided to wait on 'backspace'.
