Re: Using Freemarker to generate Freemarker?

Use square-bracket syntax for the first pass:
http://freemarker.org/docs/dgui_misc_alternativesyntax.html

Then it's obvious which tags has to be resolved in the 1st, and which
in the 2nd pass. Otherwise it's quite messy to find it out, even if FM
would ignore calling undefined directives.
