Hi Tristan,
Your English is great -- the documentation is indeed short and abstract.
I've never had much luck passing things to a javascript macro without using
a <$set> variable. I'm thinking it might be possible to use another
standard macro to wrap the <$set> process.
Could you provide the javascript macro and template for testing purposes?
