[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] GWT WYSIWYG - Macro handling behavior

Hi Marius and everyone, Here's an idea of a specification for macro handling in the new wysiwyg editor: * Macros are rendered when displayed in the editor * There's an outline so that the user can see what content corresponds to a macro * When the cursor is inside a macro the background color is changed * Clicking on Edit Macro to edit the selected macro * There's a background thread running that re-renders the page (and thus the macro) every N seconds. We need this since the macro content depends on other content (for example the TOC macro will depend on sections, the velocity macro will depend on values set in other velocity macros, etc). We should also have a way to let the user refresh the rendering manually. ** Note that since there are both inline and block macros we also need to refresh the rendering for that reason. For ex, if you put a velocity macro inside a list item and then you remove the list item the renderer result of the macro will be different (in the second case an extra paragraph will be added). * We should also have a button to switch between rendering macros and not rendering macros. For example when a page is including another page with some large content the user might want to disable macro rendering to focus only on the content of the current page. The default should be to render macros. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
