Yes but I thought we were re-voting on everything in each UI domain.
I'm fine if we agreed about something but I can't find it on
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterface#HMacros
so it wasn't recorded as agreed on. I haven't scanned past
discussions but if you have then maybe you could move the result on
that page for all topics that were agreed on?
I don't understand what a "placeholder macro" is (did you mean "macro
placeholder"?). Maybe you mean a "placeholder mode" which can be
toggled on/off. If so would be nice to include it in the UI proposal
to see where it would be located.
That's what we had discussed. Now I don't see that button in your UI
proposal.
Thanks

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.
