Hi All,

one
of which added links to documents stored in a particular location.
This
was connecting our svn document storage with the xwiki documentation
and
was simple enough for all my users to use.

## doclink( repo_path_to_doc display_name)
##
#macro(doclink $path $name)
a href=/docs_repo/$path$name/a#end
My users didn't have to worry about how the repository was managed
on my
xwiki server or use html.
Now I need to have them do this
{{velocity}}{{html}}#doclink(repo_path_to_doc
display_name){{/html}}{{/velocity}}
Instead of
#doclink( repo_path_to_doc display_name)
It may not seem like a big deal to a developer, but it is less user
friendly. I want to continue with the new syntax, but I was
wondering if
this is going to be the permanent syntax for macros.
The plan is to provide a way to expose wiki content in pages as
macros. This planned in 2.0 milestone 2 (ie in about 3-4 weeks).
The idea is that you would add some Macro Objects to a page and
describe the macro using that objects (name, parameters, default
values, content, etc). Once this is done the macro will be available
as any rendering macro, i.e using wiki syntax {{mymacro/}} or from
the WYSIWYG editor.

You can insert the {{html}} element inside the macro to remove the need
for the velocity item.
And as Vincent says in 2.0 there will be the bridge to velocity macro to
simplify things and allow macros to be exposed in the Wysiwyg, which is
what will actually help democratize macros.
