Hi All,
We upgraded our internal wiki from xwiki 1.6 to xwiki 1.9 recently and
discovered that our old macro syntax doesn't work any longer because we
have the default syntax set to 2.0. I had added some custom macros, one
of which added links to documents stored in a particular location. This
was connecting our svn document storage with the xwiki documentation and
was simple enough for all my users to use.
##
## Insert a link to a document in the documentation repository
## Usage
## doclink( "repo_path_to_doc" "display_name")
##
#macro(doclink $path $name)
<a href="/docs_repo/$path">$name</a>#end
My users didn't have to worry about how the repository was managed on my
xwiki server or use html.
Now I need to have them do this
{{velocity}}{{html}}#doclink("repo_path_to_doc"
"display_name){{/html}}{{/velocity}}
Instead of
#doclink( "repo_path_to_doc" "display_name")
It may not seem like a big deal to a developer, but it is less user
friendly. I want to continue with the new syntax, but I was wondering if
this is going to be the permanent syntax for macros.
Thanks,
Regan
