public class BlockMacro
extends Block

BlockMacro directive is used to invoke Velocity macros with normal parameters and a macro body.

The macro can then refer to the passed body AST. This directive can be used as a "decorator". Body AST can contain any valid Velocity syntax. An example:

 #set($foobar = "yeah!")
 
 #macro(strong $txt)
 <strong>$bodyContent</strong> $txt
 #end

 #@strong($foobar)
 <u>This text is underlined and bold</u>
 #end
 
Will print:
 <strong><u>This text is underlined and bold<u></strong> yeah!
 
bodyContent reference name is configurable (see velocity.properties).
