Please, where must I include a #includeMacros macro to have the macros
defined there available for any document in a wiki?
I see the Macro Mapping field in Administration > Preferences >
Advanced, but I am not able to find how to use it. I've tried by putting
the macros there, the macro there calling a document with the macros'
definition,.. but none of these worked. A modified macros.vm does perfect.
Thanks for your help,
Ricardo

If it doesn't have to be a wiki document, then the best thing to do is
to write a mymacros.vm file, put it somewhere, like /skins/mymacros.vm,
and register it in /WEB-INF/velocity.properties (search for macros.vm
and append it there).

Hi Ricardo,

First you need to put all your macros in one page, let's say
XWiki.MyMacros. Then you'll have to go to the Administration, Tab
Preferences, Line
Advanced. Then put the name of your page in the Velocity Macro Pages field
(you can put only one page there for performance reasons). So you'll have :
Velocity Macro Pages :
XWiki.MyMacros
Then save the page. You can now call your macros from wherever in the wiki.

Thanks Sergiu. This surely works, but it will imply to keep track of a
change done in another XWiki configuration file. Of course is not big
deal to add it to xwiki.cfg and hibernate.cfg.xml that have to be
changed after each update. I think the approach proposed by Guillaume
avoid it.
Is there any performance difference between both methods I must take
into account?
Thanks!!

Thanks, Guillaume. It works fine. I was putting the document in the
wrong method. Is it worth a FAQ entry?
Are you aware of any performance difference between this approach and
the one prosed by Sergiu?
Cheers,
Ricardo

Registering in velocity.properties causes the file to be parsed once
when the platform starts.
Registering in XWikiPreferences causes the file to be parsed for each
line (!) of the parsed document.

Thanks!
Far clear! To look at the code is my main pending issue :-(
Keep trying to survive with the help of the community,
