This is mostly deprecated. The new canonical way to have groovy in a page is
now to use the {{groovy}} macro, and you can {{include}} a page that’s using
{{groovy}} if you need to bring it to another page.
Note that in the xwiki core dev we don’t use groovy at all since this requires
PR and makes it very fragile and a pain for our users.

Which is a xwiki/1.0 syntax page btw. IMO it should have been plain/1.0 instead.

If you’re talking about
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-l10n/blob/master/src/main/resources/L10NCode/L10NGroovy.xml
it should have a plain/1.0 syntax IMO.

Not sure what you mean by vm files embedded in macros. What type of macros are
you thinking about and what’s the relationship with wiki pages?

It’s not my proposal! It’s the way XWiki works right now :)
Thanks

PS: When you say macro, you need to be more specific. We have at least 4 or 5
types of macros (wiki macros, rendering macros in java, velocity macros, radeox
macros).
