| 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. |
