The purpose of indicating the syntax is just that, indicating the syntax so that the renderer knows what it's dealing with but it's not xhtml renderer job to call the xwiki/2.0 parser. If you want your macro to behave like the groovy macro then do the same thing: generate some wiki content in a string and then use the parser you need to generate the XDOM for you. > > 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? > > > 10 January 2013 12:40 Thomas Mortagne [[email protected]]: >> Looks like you are mixing several things here. >> >> RawBlock job is to provide something that should ends up in the output >> syntax as it is but the xhtml renderer can't support something that is in >> xwiki syntax so it skips it which is why you don't get anything. >> >> When you say that you want a WordBlock("|=one|=two") by definition this is >> not going to be interpreted since you already >> said this was a word so whatever the renderer it will get a event saying >> that you want to print something that exactly >> looks like "|=one|=two" and the renderer should make sure it will looks like >> this (the html renderer will escape < and > >> when you have some for example etc.) >> >> If you want your macro to return a table you should explicitly return a >> table which mean use >> TableBlock/TableRowBlock/TableCellBlock/TableHeadCellBlock. > >> On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 1:52 PM, David Cornforth <[email protected]> >> wrote: >>> I am following the guide for creating a Macro by extending AbstractMacro: >>> http://rendering.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ExtendingMacro although I >>> have implemented it in Groovy rather than core Java. >>> >>> I have managed to get the example to successfully build with maven and for >>> the resulting JAR file to work with my xwiki Enterprise 4.4 install. >>> >>> I then changed the content of the execute method to: >>> >>> List<Block> result = Arrays.<Block> asList(new WordBlock("|=one|=two")) >>> return result >>> >>> And added a new .test file: >>> >>> .runTransformations >>> .#----------------------------------------------------- >>> .input|xwiki/2.1 >>> .# Test the macro in standalone mode >>> .#----------------------------------------------------- >>> {{releases artifactIds="test1,test2" server="test3"/}} >>> .#----------------------------------------------------- >>> .expect|xhtml/1.0 >>> .#----------------------------------------------------- >>> |=one|=two >>> >>> This test passed when running the maven build, but produced the text output >>> "|=one|=two" when deployed to xwiki, rather than rendering a table.
