The CAE web application and tag libraries are based on the latest FreeMarker 2.3.x syntax. For more information see Section 4.3.4, “Writing Templates” in Content Application Developer Manual and FreeMarker documentation.

The taglibs cm and preview are implicitly available in any FreeMarker template view rendered by the CAE and are needed for main functionality. Other taglibs, like bp, are part of CoreMedia Blueprint and offer additional and helpful functions depending on the extension and context they are part of.

In order to create your own Taglib please take a look at Section 4.3.4.2, “Advanced Patterns for FreeMarker Templates” in Content Application Developer Manual. You need to add the corresponding FreeMarker file to the freemarkerConfigurer bean's property autoImports in the according Spring configuration, for example like in blueprint-freemarker-views.xml.
