Freemarker is a template engine used to generate dynamic web pages, emails, configuration files, etc. It utilizes specific tags to control the output and logic of templates.<\/p>\n

Here are some commonly used Freemarker tags and their usage methods:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Output value: Use the ${} tag to display the value of a variable or expression. For example, ${user.name} will display the value of the name property of the user object.<\/li>\n
  2. Conditional statement: Use <#if>, <#elseif>, and <#else> tags for conditional statements. For example:<\/li>\n
  3. If the user is 18 years old or older, they are considered to be an adult. If the user is between 13 and 17 years old, they are considered to be a teenager. If the user is younger than 13 years old, they are considered to be a child.<\/li>\n
  4. Loop iteration: Use the <#list> tag for looping iteration. For example:<\/li>\n
  5. Iterating through the users and displaying their names.<\/li>\n
  6. Define variables: Use the <#assign> tag to define variables. For example:<\/li>\n
  7. The variable “username” is assigned the value of the “name” attribute of the user. Print out ${username}.<\/li>\n
  8. Include sub-templates: use the <#include> tag to bring in other templates. For example:<\/li>\n
  9. – Include “header.ftl”
    \n– <\/p>\n

    Main content<\/h1>\n

    – Include “footer.ftl”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These are just a few of the Freemarker tags, for detailed usage please refer to the official Freemarker documentation or other related resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
