Hi Vincent,
Technical you are surely totally right in the context of xwiki
But try to see that stuff from an users point of view, not from a developers one.
An user want to use xwiki not to analyse it.
End users should use the wysiwyg editor and the add macro dialog box from there (which has
a description).
Look what the german wikipedia thinks about wiki
syntax. No macros at all.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilfe:Textgestaltung
And the french version, discusses something which looks like "xwiki macros" but
they arent.
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aide:Syntaxe
Almost all wikis have the notion of macros (sometimes called extensions or plugin too) so
this is no different from any other wiki.
There is no common sense what "Wiki syntax"
means.
So a better term would be helpful. However, it is not easy to find something better, all
I am thinking of are rather a sentence than a word.
Sure, we couldn't find a better name to explain that the wiki syntax is evaluated or
not. I initially wanted wikiSyntax=true|false but in order to have a short and concise
name we agreed on "wiki".
Note that we wouldn't be able to change it in XWiki syntax 2.0 (since it would break
backward compat). The only window of opportunity to change it would be XWiki Syntax 2.1.
Thanks

Hi,
Ok, I see it now, too.
However, the attribute name "wiki" is very misleading.
It's wiki as in wiki syntax. Macros **are** wiki syntax, otherwise you'd never be
able to use macros when you write wiki syntax!
