Thomas and Vincent, thank you both for the feedback. If parameters supported
data type it would open up a lot of nice options for wiki macros but I can
manage without. It's easy enough to fake the Boolean type and the macro I
wanted to use arrays is just for building the site pages and not for production
use, so I can hard code my lists easy enough. Thanks again!
Regards,
Jesse
