Supun, Really a very nice proposal. I think it'd be helpful to link at the end a list of relevant JIRA issues and wiki pages. It looks like (among other things) you are referring to http://wiki.apache.org/velocity/MacroIssues
You list 'All the improvements to the code should not destroy the backward compatibility of the Velocity engine, and it shouldn't affect the Velocity engines template caching mechanism. These are two challenging issues that need to be addressed with care' I want to suggest a third requirement, which is that performance should not be significantly affected. This is really related to the caching issue. I think the "allow expressions in macro arguments" idea is nice, but not essential. (yes, I know this was my suggestion). Nathan's point about macro bodies might be more relevant. But I encourage you to follow your interests here. Best, WILL On 3/23/07, Supun Kamburugamuva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, Thanks for the effort. I have corrected most of the spelling issues and grammatical issues. If you have time please go thought it. Thanks, Supun..
