Posted by eclotone in Uncategorized.1 comment so far
Came across this patent for a Java application that seems to generate Rich Text output from a template and a data model. Are they having me on? I must have misread. Misunderstood. Is this a joke?
What do the good people of FreeMarker say to this?

Help! Please!

On the weekend we went cycling in Bavaria. In the town of Rosenheim we crossed the river Inn. Where does this river get its light blue milky quality from? Have not been able to find out.
