=============================================================================== FreeMarker {version} For the latest version or to report bugs visit: http://freemarker.org/ Mirror: http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/ =============================================================================== What is FreeMarker? ------------------- FreeMarker is a Java tool to generate text output based on templates. It is designed to be practical as a template engine to generate web pages and particularly for servlet-based page production that follows the MVC (Model View Controller) pattern. That is, you can separate the work of Java programmers and website designers - Java programmers needn't know how to design nice websites, and website designers needn't know Java programming.
