I'm working with Freemarker (mainly to generate quotes from our web-based accounting system). I've figured out headers/footers which work great but what I'd like to do is add a COVER PAGE so that the first page is a cover page, and then the generated quote is below that.

Now I could just throw in some HTML to make it look nice with a bunch of spaces to bring everything down, but I'd like to insert the TITLE from my accounting system's quote on the cover page. My fear is if someone puts in a title that is say 3-4 lines, it'll throw off the look later.

So is there a way I can specify in my code that "this is my cover page"

    Without knowing how you're actually *using* FreeMarker it's impossible to help. FreeMarker is a templating language, it doesn't know what a "cover page" is. – Dave Newton Jan 14 '14 at 17:06
  • True... is there a way I can "tell" it "hey this is my cover page, print this first and then print the rest of my documents" ??? – user2683757 Jan 14 '14 at 17:21
  • Without knowing how you're actually *using* FreeMarker it's impossible to answer this question. How do you differentiate "pages" at all? What's the output of your transformation? Are you trying to use a single template to perform fundamentally different tasks? – Dave Newton Jan 14 '14 at 17:22

    I actually found it. It's not a freemarker command, it's an HTML command:
    In case anybody is interested, thanks though.     – user2683757 Jan 15 '14 at 15:52
