Resolution: Duplicate
Yep. Since VELOCITY-583 has a patch, let's favor that and close this.
> Allow macros that act as blockDirectives
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: VELOCITY-558
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-558
> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Engine
> Affects Versions: 1.5
> Environment: Windows
> Reporter: Guido Deinhammer
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently migrating a web project from Oracle's proprietary UIX to Velocity,
> I found the limitation that macros are always line directives and cannot ave
> content somewhat limiting.
> I would suggest the following improvement or addition to the macro
> functionality.
> You should be able to define a blockMacro - maybe with a syntax like this:
> #blockmacro(section $title $open)
> <table><th><td>$title</td></th>
> #if($open)
> #body
> #end
> </table>
> #end
> Where #body would render the body of the macro call. The macro call could
> look like this:
> #section("My Collapsible Section", true)
> <tr><td>sectionContent</td></tr>
> #end
> This allows the macro to render the content only under a certain condition,
> or it would allow the macro to render the content multiple times. I think
> this would a lot of flexibilty to macros - it might be an enhancement worth
> considering for the Summer of Code Google project.
