Templating Basics
Templates are very simple to write. The are comprised of any string of text, and are decorated using orb-tags.
The Orb Tag
Orb tags are comprised of a preceding @ character, followed by {...} brackets which contain regular MVEL expressions.
My name is: @{name}
In this template, we have a simple property expression in our orb-tag, which returns the value of name. So if we were to inject a variable called name, or provide a Context object that contains the field name and evaluate this template, we'll get something like this back:
My name is: Jane Doe
It's pretty simple.
 | Whitespace handling MVEL Templates preserve all whitespace, so keep that in mind, depending on the type of document that you are creating. |
