if-else in FreeMarker template

FreeMarker templates support an if-statement with the following syntax

<#if hot> 
  It's hot.
</#if>

I've looked in the documentation and can't find any support for an if-else statement. Of course, I could achieve the same result with:

<#if hot> 
  It's hot.
</#if>  
<#if !hot> 
  It's not hot.
</#if>

Is there support for if-else in FreeMarker?

Solution

  • Yes, you can write:

    <#if hot>
it's hot
<#else>
it's not
</#if>

    And if you're doing lots of freemarker, I really can recommend IntelliJ IDEA 8, its freemarker support really helps...
