The usual way of doing that is with macros. Like, you could have an
ftl file that holds all the macros that are commonly used in your
application, and one one them could be "page". Something like this:
--- lib/commons.ftl ---
...
<#escape x as x?html>
...
<#macro page title>
<html>
<head>
<title>${title}</title>
</head>
<h1>${title}</h1>
<#nested>
<hr>
<p>Copyright blah blah...</p>
</html>
</#macro>
...
</#escape>
------
--- sometemplate.ftl ---
<#import "/lib/commons.ftl" as c>
<@c.page "Something">
... your page-specific content goes here ...
</@c.page>
------
If you want to avoid the #import statement, then you could use
auto-imports (see in the Configuration class API), however that can
make understanding the templates harder for other people, or even for
you a year later.
