Here are some good examples about how to extend Velocity, including the creation of custom directives...

The reason is quite simple. The macro logic is quite complicated and cumbersome. It hardly can be implemented in velocity template. It's legacy architecture "feature" - view asks business logic for a model. Maybe I do not need macro and directive works just well. I need to define some kind of "shortcut" for view developer who can use it in any view. And a logic behind this "shortcut" is actually evaluated only if velocity engine encounter "shortcut" in rendered view. Can you point out where i can find info about custom directive? Thank you!
