No, the goal was to be able to allow a user to give wiki syntax as
title when he use box macro. I don't say you have to change the way to
handle titles from String to List<Block> but to provide two ways to do
it since macros should never use syntax.

* this macro should not depends on radeox, expecially if it's just to use
org.radeox.util.Encoder. You should directly generate the List<Block> and not
generate a html string and call html macro to do it in RssMacro.renderSearch.
* in RssMacro.renderEntries() you should use ParserUtils.parseInlineNonWiki to parse the
description, WordBlock is supposed to contains only one work and not an entire paragraph.
* never use wiki syntax in macros
-- macro is supposed to not be syntax dependent
-- a macro is supposed to work on XDOM level
-- create directly the right block is way faster
If the problem is that you can't pass List<Block> for the title to
BoxMacroParameters, do it another way:
-- you could define a protected List<Box> getTitle() methods in AbstractBoxMacro
like you have getClassProperty() and extend it with a RSSEntryMacro class
-- you could also add a set/getBlockTitle in BoxMacroParameters based on
List<Block> which can be used from java (we could even imagine to be able to use it
from wiki syntax with the tight BeanUtil converter)
-- ...
Regarding the last issue, about whether to use or not wiki syntax for
rendering the title I must say I'm a bit puzzled. I thought that the
point of allowing wiki syntax to be specified in the title for the
boxMacro was right this, to properly render the titles of the rss
entries in the RssMacro. ................................
[15:42:26] Vincent Massol: now re the links I'm not sure yet
[15:42:37] … there are different ways of doing that I guess
[15:43:29] … one idea (brainstorming): we could allow inline wiki syntax
to be used the title parameter maybe
[15:44:14] Dan Miron: yes, it could be a way
[15:44:17] Thomas Mortagne: I like that yes
[15:46:45] Vincent Massol: hmm I wonder if this is something we'd want
for all macros
[15:47:09] … not sure
[15:47:17] Thomas Mortagne: at wors we can add a isTitleWiki
[15:47:19] Vincent Massol: even for this use case I'm stil not fully sure
[15:47:51] … it sounds good but I wonder if we'd get side effects
[15:48:09] … actually we wan't do that in a generic way for all macros
[15:48:20] … since it's not going to generate text
[15:48:25] … but Blocks
[15:48:32] … so the macro needs to handle that
[15:48:50] … s/Wan't/can't/
[15:49:33] … ok I think I'm +1 for making the image and title params
allow inline wiki syntax here for this macro
[15:49:45] … (it's a good experiment, we'll see how it goes)
[15:49:49] … wdyt?
[15:49:53] Thomas Mortagne: +1
[15:50:03] Jean-Vincent Drean: +1
..................................
Anyway, if we need to quit using wiki syntax in the title, i'd prefer
the second choice, "add a set/getBlockTitle in BoxMacroParameters based
on List<Block> which can be used from java". Should I go on with this?
I prefer the set/getBlockTitle way too.
Tnx,
Dan
