The net seems to be full of comparisons between Velocity and FreeMarker, and they seem to be reasonably equivalent. But there seems to be almost no comparisons between StringTemplate and FreeMarker!

So, what are the main differences between StringTemplate and FreeMarker?

My usage for them would be to generate HTML pages only. Out of the two, I would've expected FreeMarker to be the more suitable and more capable, as that seems to the more common one - but through a quick glance it seems that StringTemplate actually has more suitable features!

It would be great if someone who has used both would have time to comment - for the actual specifics, I can just read the documentation side by side, but I'd like something to get started with.
