[xwiki-devs] [discussion] Replace the box macro with the container macro

Hi devs, There is obviously some overlapping between the purposes of the box macro (http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Box+Macro) and the container macro (http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Container+Macro), namely that the box macro is just a very specific type of container. How do you feel about moving all or some of the box macros functionalities to the container macro and either implement the box macro as a particular type of container, or deprecate it completely? The way I see it is that the container macro would have parameters to allow to: * fix its size * render a border around * use a background color * title (to be discussed, I am not 100% convinced that it's generic enough) * image (to be discussed, same) * layout it inside text (float it to the left or right) * other decorations we could find useful for the users (note that devs could still write css if they want more). I know that all these functions can be accomplished by CSS, but so is the columned layout, for example, and the idea is to provide to the users an easy way to do it (in this case, WYSIWYG). I'm +1, regardless of the solution (deprecate or not), but I am very convinced of the overlapping, they should not be 2 different implementations. Thanks, Anca
