In this section:

1. What Is Freemarker?
   Titania Delivery utilizes a template engine called Freemarker to render a Portal's pages.
2. Common Template Variables
   Titania Delivery populates each Portal Theme page with variables containing several useful properties.
3. Portal Theme Pages
   The following pages are required for a basic Portal to function properly. All paths are relative to the Portal Theme root.
4. Storing Data
   The userData and siteData variables provide a mechanism for storing and retrieving persistent data on the server.
