To see features of DLTK Freemarker, please go at
https://github.com/angelozerr/Freemarker-Eclipse-DLTK/wiki/Features (for
the moment it's just a link on an ODT document which shows you the features
(perhaps some features are broken when I have switch to FM 2.3)).

Yes I understand, but I would like to avoid developping the big plugin DLTK
Freemarker alone to keep motivation.

Yes you right, alot of plugins are based on DLTK, so DLTK will continue to
live but it is not very active (I think it's because it is mature)
Mix HTML & Freemarker is a feature that I had not though (I had created
this issue https://github.com/angelozerr/Freemarker-Eclipse-DLTK/issues/1 for
that).
