Hi Vincent, hi Zeljko,

I initially got the same results as Zeljko when I tried it. It took me three or 
four tries before I got it right. The trouble is that so many things are going 
on at once. I don't exactly remember how I solved it, but I remember that the 
problem I had was changing the places in the macros correctly to correspond 
with my needs. I would just encourage you, Zelko, to continue trying and you 
will get it.

Reading the concepts of Xwiki helped me, as well as just playing around with 
XWiki. If you mess things up you can in the history editor just roll back. 
After a while the parts begin to fit together. If you are familiar with Java's 
Class - Object paradigm, it will help too. Objects are just concrete examples 
of the classes you create along with their properties and methods. Xwiki seems 
to me to have this concept as well, with the added difficulty that the template 
pages are added to separate display from content. In IT circles this concept of 
separating those aspects of an application is called MVC for 
"Model-View-Controller". That's why so much is happening. Until I got that, 
Xwiki was a bit confusing for me too.

That's a bit abstract, I know, but I am convinced that checking into the deeper 
functioning of Xwiki is rewarding and will help when making new applications on 
top of the Xwiki engine. The FAQ I have is created on the page as shown in the 
tutorial, but to edit it after creation you need to go to the Object editor. 
Then you are with the concrete examples of the class you created. 

Vincent, it might help us who are new at Xwiki to take a screenshot of the page 
where the FAQ macro is shown and color-hightlight the items to be changed. That 
would avoid some of the confusion I think. Just an idea...

Regards,

Steven Calkins

I downloaded 2.0-rc-2.23761 Windows installer yesterday, tried FAQ example and 
got same result as described: if I leave Wiki syntax 2.0, I don't get page with 
2 buttons, but rather page with macros.
