--- Comment #1 from Andrew Isherwood <andrew.isherwood at ptfs-europe.com> ---
Looking into this a bit further, it's not a straightforward as it first
appears. There is no defined delimiter between multiple prefs within a group,
so there's no way of knowing where one ends and the next begins. The template
just iterates through all entries in a group (or "line" as they're called in
the template) whether they're text, form inputs etc.

So, we either need to create a delimiter in the preferences/*.pref files to
define where one pref in a group ends and the next begins. Or, and this feels
like a better solution, stop putting multiple prefs in a single group. As far
as I can see, there's no reason for doing this. If we chose the latter option,
there would be a small amount of work involved in separating out multiple prefs
into their own lines. A quick experiment with patrons.pref, suggests this is
all that's required.

Setting this bug to "In discussion" in case anyone has any further insight into
this.
