[xwiki-devs] Proposal for Macro inline edition

Hi everyone, I'm working on the roadmap issues related to the inline edition with WYSIWYG editor for macro content and macro parameters. The first step is to add a flag to allow user specify that a content or a parameter can be edited inline with the WYSIWYG editor. The second step is to allow the CKEditor to detect where the content and/or parameters should be edited. Let's take the exampe of a simple macro without any parameter, which currently produces this code: <div class="box infomessage"> <div class="title"> <span class="icon info"></span> some title </div> Some content </div> We propose (me & Marius) to ask users to add a wrapper with a specific class around the content to tell the editor it should only allow editing this content, e.g.: <div class="box infomessage"> <div class="title"> <span class="icon info"></span> some title </div> <span class="editable-content">Some content</span> </div> About parameters, our idea was to define a new metadata attribute and to ask users to use it for specifying the content is editable, such as for a parameter named foo: <span class="editable-content" data-parameter="foo">my foo parameter value</span> However I don't know right now how the editor would manage cases such as: <span class="editable-content">Some content with <span class="editable-content" data-parameter="myparameter">a parameter</span></span> So: 1. Do you agree on the usage of a class named "editable-content" which would be used as a tag to allow inline edition? 2. WDYT about using a data-parameter and this class for inline editing of parameters?
