About This Tool

Online FTL Formatter provides deterministic formatting for FreeMarker Template Language blocks. It ingests raw FTL text, normalizes indentation, wraps lines to a configurable width, and re-emits text using a stable, deterministic serializer. The tool preserves literal sections and comments, ensuring that runtime semantics are not altered. Output helps developers maintain readability and reduce diffs across version control, across teams, and in CI pipelines.

Under the hood, the formatter tokenizes FTL, builds a light parse tree for blocks, and applies rules to reindent nested blocks. Advanced options allow selecting target style canonical, compact, or expanded, adjusting indent_size, wrap_column, and comments handling. It does not evaluate templates or execute their expressions, preserving safety and determinism.

Beneficiaries include developers maintaining FreeMarker templates, content engineers migrating templates between environments, and teams enforcing style guides. Unique value lies in deterministic, FTL-aware formatting that can be integrated into pipelines and code reviews, providing safe diffs and stable templates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What is the Online FTL Formatter?

The tool formats FreeMarker Template Language (FTL) text by applying a deterministic set of whitespace and block rules without evaluating expressions. It improves readability, reduces diffs, and enforces team style without changing runtime behavior.

What inputs does it accept?

Accepts plain FTL text as input; supports literals, comments, and multi-line directives; encoding is UTF-8; can apply options like indentation and wrap width.

Can I export or download formatted text?

Yes; the formatter returns the formatted text which you can copy to clipboard or paste into files. It may offer a download option depending on host UI.

How are syntax errors handled?

If blocks are unbalanced or directives are malformed, the formatter reports errors with location data and formats valid regions where possible; runtime behavior remains unaffected.
