 == Motivation ==
 
+The existing concat text function is difficult to work with when multiple concatenations need to be done.
+Example:
+
+ concat('Parcel ID: ', concat( PID , concat('\nOwner Name: ', concat(NullValue (  OWNER_NAME , '' ) , concat('\nAddress: ',  SITE_ADDR )))))
+
 
 == Proposed Solution ==
 
+The proposed solution is to add support for an additional syntax to the concat operator.
+
+Old syntax:
+{{{
+ concat('Parcel ID: ', concat( PID , concat('\nOwner Name: ', concat(NullValue (  OWNER_NAME , '' ) , concat('\nAddress: ',  SITE_ADDR )))))
+}}}
+
+New syntax:
+{{{
+ concat('Parcel ID: ', PID , '\nOwner Name: ', NullValue (  OWNER_NAME , '' ) , '\nAddress: ', SITE_ADDR )
+}}}
