+1, people should learn that "the content is king", providing good
content is much more important than coloring it nicely. If it is not
simple to do, then don't do it, unless you really have to. The current macro image gets people confused
(among "people" I
count
myself
-> I hardly ever used the parameters available in the macro image).
Here
again, if we use the "% %" model we need to be aware that most
users
won't
ever input parameters to their images, unless they use the WYSIWYG
editor.
Since we expect it to work great, that's fine with me, but I simply
want us
to be aware that doing this we make the XWiki syntax at least as
complex as
HTML, which basically removes its interest as a simplified markup.
And this is good! Wiki markup should focus on simple things. If it
were easy people would put colors and styles everywhere which is
bad.
It's good that's it's not easy.
It's just an extension since we MUST have it for the wysiwyg to work
and be able to style documents without incurring the penalty of
using
the {{html}} macro which would provide visual garbage in wiki
edition
mode.
What if I came and told you that you're using your
IDE the wrong way
and
that from now on it's gonna be hard to do "Find & Replace" because
people
*should* name their variables correctly in the first place ?
