Freemarker: Reproduce XML

Question

Folks, I am working on a freemarker template that needs to reproduce parts of the input XML tree.

I would love to have a macro that I could invoke as follows:

<@renderTree node=node namespace="ns"/>

Anyone have something like this handy?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Freemarker has a special hash key for this: @@markup. So, my example above:

<@renderTree node=node namespace="ns"/>

Where variable "node" contains an XML node, will be written as:

${ node[ "@@markup" ] }
