How To Edit .html freemarker files with editing tools

Greetings - I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to view and edit freemarker template files in an .html files in an editor?

I've thought about trying to write a program to 'comment out' the custom tags for .html editing, then put the tags back for jforum.

Just wondering if anyone else has tackled this?

Many thanks!

I guess Dreamweaver has a way to handle Velocity tags, but I haven't seen a similar for Freemarker.

There is a freemarker eclipse-ide plugin available. I haven't used it yet, so don't know what it offers.

Thanks for the input!

For editing freemarker tags - would it be possible to simply take the freemarker specific tags and wrap them in HTML comments, which would then allow editing, then unwrap the tags for jforum? Would there be something else involved?

Thanks for the assistance,
Curt.

I'm afraid tha't s not possible.

If the <#X> sintax is causing you problems, you can try the [#X] sintax. More at http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/docs/dgui_misc_alternativesyntax.html
