Description

It is impossible to use the new HTML5 required attribute with the textfield tag currently available in FreeMarker. Other HTML5 attributes seem to work as expected.

=> For example, I want to use the new required attribute in order to have the following very simple HTML code :

<input type="text" required="required" id="test-X">

=> I have tried to use the following code in a classic FTL file :

test.ftl

<@s.textfield required="required" id="test-1"/>
<@s.textfield required="true" id="test-2"/>
<@s.textfield required=required id="test-3"/>
<@s.textfield required=true id="test-4"/>

The HTML result is always :

<input type="text" id="test-X">
