Right now I'm looking at the entry point for
the macros. I can see that
the
parameters are typed in the parameters classes.
Theses are java macros. The project is about wiki macros which are
wiki page based macro emulation rendering macros.
See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WikiMacroTutorial
Can you please give a hint of where to look in the code?
