    Hello people, So I was wanting some help returning a variable to a page in tymeleaf. If I could get help just converting one of my methods it would open the door for me and I'd greatly appreciate it. I tried reading the thymeleaf docs but I am having trouble with it.


    Once again thanks for your
    tutorial.



    Regards,
    Morgan
