Hi John The reason that macros are not wikified when used as an element/widget attribute is primarily performance: parsing and rendering the macro text is a pretty expensive operation. Very often the variable substitution performed by macros is sufficient, and it's much, much faster.
The way to think about what's going on is that: * invoking a macro always performs the parameter and variable substitution to generate the output text * whether it is wikified depends on the context: ordinary body text is wikified, but attribute values are not. That's consistent; an attribute like attr="my [[wiki|Wiki]]" is not wikified either The trick that Stephan suggested is widely used in the core and helps with a lot of cases. But I'm conscious that we're going to need further wikitext syntax to cover all the bases.
