Xtend Template Notation

Question

i have a Problem with the Xtend Template Notation.

I want to do «i=i+1» in a template method

def generateSomething() '''
...
«i=i+1»
... 
'''

The «i=i+1» is obviously only to count i higher but it also shows the value of i in the generated file too. But i dont want that. Is there a way to solve this problem without changing the method?

You could use a block expression :

def generateSomething() '''
...
«{i=i+1 ''}»
... 
'''

If it is possible to used AtomicInteger instead of an int for your code then this should work.

val i = new AtomicInteger
val generated = '''
        ...
        «i.andIncrement»
        ... 
        '''
