If i want to check starts with "Hello" first string should be returned
If i want to check ends with "Hello" second string should be returned
If i want to check contains  "Hello" last string should be returned
starts_with, ex. "redblue"?starts_with("red") will return true.
ends_with, ex. "redblue"?ends_with("red") will return false.
contains, ex. <#if "piceous"?contains("ice")>It contains "ice"</#if> will show the message
When you want the word to be contained but not in the start or the end, just add an if condition to check if starts_with and ends_with result to false.
                thanks Fotiou. Actually starts with and ends with returns true/ false. I have to return redblue as per above example

                @ShrutiSharma There's no shorthand for that, you have to use #if then. Or, you can write a macro to do this if this is needed very often.
