Thanks for the reply.
I already have some code written in Groovy that creates the required tables in
xwiki syntax, and I am attempting to convert it into a deployable Macro. This
is why I am trying to return text such as "|=one|=two" in the xwiki syntax. As
you say, I could convert all the code to use TableBlock etc, but this seems
like a lot more work than just using the existing code as-is and returning the
current xwiki syntax output.
When I create the RawBlock I am explicitly setting the syntax to be xwiki
rather than xhtml: new RawBlock("|=one|=two",Syntax.XWIKI_2_0) I would then
have expected this to be rendered into a table header once the Macro had
returned the output. Is this not how a RawBlock should be used? If not, what
is the purpose of setting the syntax on the RawBlock? Perhaps I'm
misunderstanding how this area works?
Is it possible to output text in xwiki syntax (e.g. "|=one|=two") from the
execute method of the Macro and have the output rendered into a table?
