I call it HTML automation. Sometimes you have directives like
<@img src="..." />, <@form action="..."></@a>, etc, that just generate the
corresponding HTML elements, but with some automated checks or
something. And then sometimes you will find it nice to allow the
template authors to use plain HTML, and the TemplateLoader replace the
elements with the directive calls. Unfortunately FTL bleeds at a few
points regarding template preprocessing, most importantly it doesn't
support error location mapping.
