FreeMarker doesn't try to interpret the static content. It doesn't
know what HTML is. It's just not that kind of template engine. So that
leaves us with idea 2. But, I think a 3rd one would be the best. As
#compress is just Writer filter basically (it doesn't remove
whitespace during the parsing phase), you just need a more
intelligent, HTML-aware FilterWriter. Especially as you do this for all
templates, can't you just pass a such Writer to Template.process? Then
the templates aren't polluted with that boilerplate. (If some templates
doesn't need it, something like <#ftl attributes = { 'compress': false }>
could be used.)
