Re: [xwiki-users] Macro in html-macro

Hi, I don't quite agree ... Developers might see velocity, would they be end user or not, of course. But they might see wiki syntax even if they are not developers, because this is what wiki syntax was created in first place : easy editing "in place" with very simple syntax to learn (** for bold and such). Well I affirm that without being really sure, but I always thought it was what wiki syntax was about :-) Of course wikis are more and more powerful, and some (not much) come with nice wysiwyg like xwiki, so wiki syntax can be a bit more complex now as it is more hidden to end users. And XWiki pushes this very far beeing also a true applicative platform through macros velocity, groovy, etc. But I still think that there should be some separation between heavily "programmatic" and scripted content, and just plain or wiki formatted text. To be clearer, you could have a home page with some descriptive text (formatted text), and then the list of last pages updated in the wiki (velocity). It would be clearer for end users if the call to velocity was done through a macro call, or a page inclusion with {{include}} macro. This way you can edit the page wysiwyg or wiki mode, and understand it pretty well even if you're not a programmer, and modify the descriptive text if you're authorized with little chance to break everything ... Of course, if your wiki is read-only for everyone but you, it means there will be no other end-users than you, and if you program you're supposed to ... learn wiki a bit more than regular users ;-) BR, Jeremie 2010/2/23 stefan bachert <stefanbachert(a)yahoo.de>
