Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] New macro: {{current}}

Yes i thought about adding a new param to the include macro but that won't solve the the second use case listed below. We could have both though: a param for include + that macro for other use cases.

However Thomas raised a good question which we need to answer before we go further.
