You can do that using scripting macros. It allows to insert in the wiki content any kind of dynamic behaviour. See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Scripting for details. On Sun, Nov 25, 2012 at 11:37 PM, John Murphy <john.murphy(a)ipscape.com.au>wrote;wrote: -- Thomas Mortagne

Hi John, As far as I understand it you need to put a placeholder (you call it variable text; we might call it wiki macro) in your documentation pages that, based on the user's IP address or the user's preference, displays one preconfigured text value. As I`ve said, one solution would be using a wiki macro that you insert in your document's content like "The main features of {{productName/}} are: ...". XWiki does not currently provide, out of the box, nor trough any exstension that I know of, such a wiki macro, but it is very easy to create one with minimal scripting knowledge. Here is the link to a short tutorial demonstrating how to create such a macro, initially containing static text, then adding some parameters in the mix, discovering it in the WYSIWYG editor, etc.: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WikiMacroTutorial You can use whatever scripting language you find easier to use in writing the wiki macro. If you are having trouble deciding which one to use, refer to http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Scripting (as the previous answers suggested) to get more details or feel free to ask for help from the XWiki community. After that, you are more than welcomed to contribute your wiki macro as an extension ( http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome ) to XWiki, so that other people having the same use case as you do might use it and/or improve it. After all, the reason we don`t have it until now is because nobody needed such a macro :) Hope this helps, Eduard On Mon, Nov 26, 2012 at 10:58 AM, Jeremie BOUSQUET < jeremie.bousquet(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:
