You can hack this on top of Markdown as it is, as long as you
don’t need to nest macros inside links. Then you can write this:
> You are %%USERNAME%%
> Logged in at %%LOGINTIME%%
>
> Your browser is %%HTTP{"User-Agent"}%%
> You are accessing from %%REMOTE_ADDR%%:%%REMOTE_PORT%%
>
> The time is now %%TIME(timezone=%%USER{%%TZ%%}%%, fmt="HH:MM:SS")%%
like this:
You are [USERNAME](macro:)
Logged in at [LOGINTIME](macro:)
Your browser is [HTTP{"User-Agent"}](macro:)
You are accessing from [REMOTE_ADDR](macro:):[REMOTE_PORT](macro:)
The time is now [TIME(timezone=USER{TZ},fmt="HH:MM:SS")](macro:)
Markdown makes this out of it:
<p>You are <a href="macro:">USERNAME</a>
Logged in at <a href="macro:">LOGINTIME</a></p>
<p>Your browser is <a href="macro:">HTTP{“User-Agent”}</a>
You are accessing from <a href="macro:">REMOTE<em>ADDR</a>:<a
href="macro:">REMOTE</em>PORT</a></p>
<p>The time is now <a
href="macro:">TIME(timezone=USER{TZ},fmt=”HH:MM:SS”)</a></p>
Then you can you go in there and replace `<a>` tags with a `href`
of `macro:` by the result of evaluating their textual content.
Hmm, you’d have to be careful about your underscores and
asterisks; not to mention there’s a bug there in Markdown…
