title: change '#' key in freemarker templates
body: <p>In order to use <strong>if statements</strong> in Freemarker templates, the following syntax is used;</p>
  
  <pre><code>[#if ${numberCoupons} &lt;= 1]
      [#assign couponsText = 'coupon']
  [/#if]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to replace the '#' character with something else, because I am trying to integrate it with drools (a java based rule engine) and the '#' character is used to mark start of comments so the formatting breaks? </p>
