help.syntaxtitle: Macros

2.0 Macros

There is only one kind of macro in XWiki Syntax 2.1, which is called by the syntax: {{macroname param1="value1" ... paramN="valueN"}}...{{/macroname}}. For macros without content there's a short notation: {{macroname param1="value1" ... paramN="valueN"/}}

Feature	XWiki Syntax 2.1	Result
Rendering Macro with a content	{{code language="java"}} System.out.println("Hello World!"); {{/code}}	System.out.println("Hello World!");
Rendering Macro without content	{{include reference="Space.Page"/}}	The referenced page is included in the current page

For the full list of available macros check the Extensions wiki.
