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?
+1 for making box macro a particular type of container. Why not remove it? What would we gain in keeping it?
Box macro could extend the container macro with title and icon. Message
macros would still use it.
Thanks,
Marius
Thanks
