> Here is the original root issue:
> ---------------------------------------------------
> In the docs, it describes being able to pass a parameter directly to the tag rather than via a a nested param tag (http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/freemarker-tags.html):
> <@s.textfield label="First name" name="firstName" description="..."/>
> This works great for Strings, but I can't figure out a way to have it work for booleans.
> For example, I added a parameter to controlheader-core.ftl: "excludecolon" so I can hide the colon after the label (for labels that are questions).
> <#if !parameters.excludecolon?default(false)>:</#if><#t/>
> If I pass it via a tag:
> <@s.param name="excludecolon" value="true"/>
> Everything works great.
> However, if I try to pass it as an attribute, excludecolon="true", it is interpreted as a String, and my freemarker template blows up. 
> None of the following work:
> <@s.textfield ...... excludecolon=true/>
> <@s.textfield ...... excludecolon="true"/>
> <#assign someVar=true />
> <@s.textfield ...... excludecolon=someVar/>
> <#assign someVar=true />
> <@s.textfield .... executecolon="${someVar}" />
