That seems to work now.
interesting though, when I add an http URL the first time it works fine; 
however if I re-edit the page then the httpURL gets interpreted by the 
Wiki and corrupts the link, for example

if I add this:
#video('http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5yyb9_sarkozy-en-off-sur-france-3_news')

save the page and then later I re-edit the page the http link is saved as:
#video('http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5yyb9_sarkozy-en-off-sur-france-3_news')
 


and an error is thrown:

I know there is a notion of {pre} that stops xwiki interpeting parts of 
the page to stop this, however I was suprised that xwiki did this in a 
macro.  How can I stop this happening ?

I have a more generic question; if you wish to use a widget in html as 
part of the wiki, what is the best way to go about this ?  Do you have 
to create your own Macro ? or is there a way to tell xWkki to parse a 
block as html ?

Thanks
James
