Dan I was actually talking about the Box macro. My question was: what's your design for providing an image to display or not. More specifically where can the image come from? If the answer is: from a document then I think it's too restrictive since we can have some images located in the skin on the filesystem for ex. Image the info, error and warning macros. I don't think their images should come from a document. Thanks -Vincent > I'm willing to > preserve the behavior of the old RssMacro as much as possible, except > for the new syntax, of course.
