In that case, Guillaume, there wouldn't actually be a problem, as for
renaming variables most of us use a refactoring feature... You really
*shouldn't* use find & replace for that...
Anyway, I don't like the analogy, as we're not telling users not to do
something, we're encouraging them to do it the right way. Just like
maven does.

What if I came and told you that you're using your IDE the wrong way and
that from now on it's gonna be hard to do "Find & Replace" because
people
*should* name their variables correctly in the first place ?

+1, people should learn that "the content is king", providing good
content is much more important than coloring it nicely. If it is not
simple to do, then don't do it, unless you really have to. The current macro image gets people confused
(among "people" I count
myself
-> I hardly ever used the parameters available in the macro image).
Here
again, if we use the "% %" model we need to be aware that most users
won't
ever input parameters to their images, unless they use the WYSIWYG
editor.
Since we expect it to work great, that's fine with me, but I simply
want us
to be aware that doing this we make the XWiki syntax at least as
complex as
HTML, which basically removes its interest as a simplified markup.
And this is
good! Wiki markup should focus on simple things. If it
were easy people would put colors and styles everywhere which is bad.
It's good that's it's not easy.
It's just an extension since we MUST have it for the wysiwyg to work
and be able to style documents without incurring the penalty of using
the {{html}} macro which would provide visual garbage in wiki edition
mode.
