This section explains the following macros.
More information about the text data macro
Date-data macro
The general form is:
{date-data:Name|format=[date format]}[<FIXED DATE>, yesterday, today, tomorrow, now]{date-data}
An example follows.
{date-data:MeetingDateTime|format=yyyy-MMM-dd HH-mm-ss}today{date-data}
The date data macro establishes the date, initially the date the macro was created. In the Edit Contents view select a different date.2011-Apr-04 00-00-00
Text-data macro
The text-data macro allows entering and editing free text in the Edit view.
The general form is:
{text-data:Name|type=[line, area]}Default text.{text-data} Username: {text-data:Username|width=100px}{text-data} Password: {text-data:Password|type=password|width=100px}{text-data} || Address: | {text-data:Address|type=area|width=400px|height=150px}Street, City, State, Postcode Country{text-data} |
The following example shows the markup above as rendered with the type=line.Default text.Username:
Password:
Address: | Street, |
---|
Observation about how the text-data macro works
It appears that once a value is specified for a text data macro of the type line, it's not possible to edit that value. For example, once the page is saved with "Default text" in the text data macro, it is not possible to change it to "Default name." This may also be the case for editing text data of the type area.
