I'd really like to have a way to filter/search macros. I want to be
able to type "ht" and all macros containing "ht" in their names or
description or parameter description would be listed.
I guess this could be done with a suggest input at the bottom as seen
in the link dialogs mockup.
I suggest to put this in the "possible improvements to keep in mind"
category since it's a power user need and we don't have that much
macros ftm.
Re macros we also need to define behaviors:
I thought this had been voted before but it was a proposal :
http://markmail.org/message/zz2iyc6lhjgtvwja
* Rendered macros
We must support them as well as "placeholder macros" IMO.
* Outline around macro block when cursor is inside a
macro rendered
content
I think we should always keep this outline to have a visual hint for
"everything in this box is not editable".
* Ability to double click inside macro content and it
opens up the
edit dialog box?
+0.
* When is the rendered macro content refreshed? Manual
refresh button?
(the easiest I think)
From the thread linked aboved I understood that
we'd have to refresh
the whole page ? Do you suggest to have a top level refresh
button or
did I missed something ?
* What about macros that take a lot of space like an
{{include}}? Do
we offer a button to "fold"/"unfold" macros?
I think this is the kind of macro that should be represented by a
placeholder. Has stated in a previous thread having included document
displayed inline in the editor would distract editors from the page
content itself. This will be also needed by other macros like "map"
(mentioned by Jerome) where having an iframe in our WYSIWYG iframe
could be a problem and, if not, performance would certainly be.
