What is a dialect in Thymeleaf?

With a dialect, you can build layouts and reusable templates in order to improve the code reuse.

Some features of the Thymeleaf dialects are Processing logic, Preprocessing & Postprocessing logic, and Expression objects.

The preprocessing logic is specified via processors that apply to the attributes in our tags.

The preprocessing & Postprocessing logic is specified using the pre and postprocessors that apply to our template before and after processing actually take place.

The Expression objects can be used in Thymeleaf standard expressions in order to perform the specialized operations we need.
