IMO there shouldn't be any need for escaping the { and } inside a parameter value. It seems the XWiki 2.0 parser stops reading the parameter value when it encounters }} which I think it's a bug. Thomas should know more about it.

There is no official rule to forbid }} in macro parameters, we just did not tough of that IMO. From pure syntax POV we should support it IMO the same way we support it in macro content.

We could support it, it's not a good reason. It's not a big difference to support with or without the quotes. The hard part is the refactor needed to actually parse the macro parameters in javacc directly instead of after the javacc pass. > We could decide that quotes are mandatory but it's a pretty big > change -1 for that, i'm pretty sure most of the users don't use the quotes.
