  Hi all,

 For the moment I would leave out the user defined macros and  
 concentrate on the error reporting and $xwiki API assistance.

 WDYT?

 As you have told, I started looking at the $xwiki API and the ways  
 to provide the content assistance.

 * But then I realized that it would be better off to provide content  
 assistance to xwiki and velocity. XWiki content assistance is  
 already implemented, I basically modified that implementation to  
 provide content assistance to Velociry directives and variables.
 Ok.

...
  *  Earlier when the partition type was default_content
there were  
 only xwiki syntax. But Now we can expect both xwiki and velocity  
 syntax. Now I need a way to provide completion proposals depending  
 on whether it is xwiki or velocity. Therefore I implemented a  
 DefaultCompletionProcessor which basicall delegates the computing of  
 proposals to the appropriate completionProcessor depending on xwki  
 or velocity. I didn' changed the functionaty of the exsisting  
 XwikiCompletionProcessor.
 I was looking at the XWikiCompletionProcessor and it has indeed to be  
refactored because I think it's a bit messy.
There are some idiosyncrasies, for example structural completion and  
link completion are done in this processor registered for the default  
content type, while there are already a lot of partition type to  
assign processors to (I will ask to Venkatesh for that).

...
  * Providing content assistance for Velociry directives
is completed.  
 The list of defined velocity variables can be extracted from the  
 velocity parser. I could complete processing of proposals for  
 variables using hardcoded list of variables. This can be replaced  
 once I integrate the Velocity parser.
 Ok.

...
  *  When implementing above feature, i had to refactor
the way, the  
 document is partitioned. This also resulted in some changes in  
 syntax colouring.
 That's fine.

...
  Herewith I have attached the patch files, because I
can't commit the  
 code to sandbox. I've sent a mail regariding this to the mailing  
 list before.
 I've see that you were able to commit. I will review the code asap and  
I'll get you feedback (I am abroad and the internet connection is not  
very good).

...
  Now I am forcusing on provinding content assistance to
the $xwiki  
 API and integration of velocity parser.
 Ok. Great.

Cheers,
Fabio
