Hi devs,
actually after a discussion I had with Vincent about naming, we thought
of the following approach, for a more general purpose:
1/ section turns into ** container ** and it gets a parameter called
**layoutStyle** to specify the type of layout for its contents. One of
the possible values of this param would be "columns" and it would be the
only one implemented for the moment.
2/ the content of this container macro would be a **list of groups**,
wiki syntax groups, like ((( ... ))). There's no point of having a macro
that does nothing else but specify that some items should be grouped
together.
With these, the syntax of columned content would now be:
{{container layoutStyle="columns"}}
((( some wiki content )))
((( some other wiki content)))
{{/container}}
The dashboard macro would then just delegate to a container macro with
columns layout style.
I like this approach, +1.
WDYT?
Once I get your votes, I will commit this in the platform.
Thanks,
Anca
