Conditionally display line in freemarker template

I'm creating a PDF from a sorted array of JSON objects, sorted by task, where each object, e.g. JSON.arr[0] == i, contains memo, rate, amount and taskText.

I want to display the task on its own line only if the current task is the first task, or different from the previous task. Nothing is being displayed for taskText.

<#if JSON?has_content>
<table>
  <tr>
    <th colspan="5">MEMO</th>
    <th>RATE</th>
    <th>AMOUNT</th>
    </tr>
  <#list JSON.arr as i>
    <#if i?first>
      <#assign task = i.taskText>
      <tr><td>${i.taskText}</td></tr>
    </#if>
    <#if i.taskText != task>
      <#assign task = i.taskText>
      <tr><td>${i.taskText}</td></tr>
    </#if>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="5">${i.memo}</td>
      <td>$${i.rate}</td>
      <td>$${i.amount}</td>
    </tr>
  </#list>
</table>
</#if>

Use the built-in ?is_first instead of ?first. It is used to check whether the current item is the first one in the current list.

For the other requirement, I would suggest to assign an initial value to task before the loop. It may well be that task is never set to anything other than null and comparison therefore fails.
