I tried the text widget thus:
* DEMO: <$text text="""<<demo {{!!dico}} {{!!index}}>>"""/>
* MACRO: <$text text="""<$macrocall $name=demo {{!!dico}} {{!!index}}/>"""/>
and I got:
- DEMO: <<demo {{!!dico}} {{!!index}}>>
- MACRO: <$macrocall $name=demo {{!!dico}} {{!!index}}/>
I thought that the macrocall parameter were to interpretated before the
actual calling of the widget (that's what I understood from Mark S.) and
was awaiting for an other result for the MACRO line.
- DEMO: <<demo {{!!dico}} {{!!index}}>>
- MACRO: <$macrocall $name=demo {{!!dico}} {{!!index}}/>
