A macro inserts dynamic HTML data in any context supporting WikiFormatting. Its syntax is `[[macro-name(optional-arguments)]]`.5 '''Trac macros''' extend the Trac engine with custom functionality. Macros are a special type of plugin and are written in Python. A macro inserts dynamic HTML data in any context supporting WikiFormatting. 6 6 7 The WikiProcessors are another kind of macros. They typically deal with alternate markup formats and transformation of larger "blocks" of information (like source code highlighting). They are used for processing the multiline `{{{#!wiki-processor-name ... }}}` blocks.7 The macro syntax is `[[macro-name(optional-arguments)]]`. 8 8 9 == Using Macros == 9 '''WikiProcessors''' are another kind of macros. They are typically used for source code highlighting, such as `!#python` or `!#apache` and when the source code spans multiple lines, such as: 10 10 11 Macro calls are enclosed in two ''square brackets''. Like Python functions, macros can also have arguments, a comma separated list within parentheses. 11 {{{ 12 {{{#!wiki-processor-name 13 ... 14 }}} 15 }}} 12 16 13 === Getting Detailed Help === 17 == Using Macros 18 19 Macro calls are enclosed in double-square brackets `[[..]]`. Like Python functions, macros can have arguments, which is then a comma separated list within parentheses `[[..(,)]]`. 20 21 === Getting Detailed Help 22 14 23 The list of available macros and the full help can be obtained using the !MacroList macro, as seen [#AvailableMacros below]. 15 24 … … 18 27 Detailed help on a specific macro can be obtained by passing it as an argument to !MacroList, e.g. `[[MacroList(MacroList)]]`, or, more conveniently, by appending a question mark (`?`) to the macro's name, like in `[[MacroList?]]`. 19 28 29 === Example 20 30 21 22 === Example === 23 24 A list of 3 most recently changed wiki pages starting with 'Trac': 31 A list of the 3 most recently changed wiki pages starting with 'Trac': 25 32 26 33 ||= Wiki Markup =||= Display =|| … … 50 57 {{{#!td style="padding-left: 2em" 51 58 {{{#!html 52 <div style="font-size: 80%"class="trac-macrolist">59 <div class="trac-macrolist"> 53 60 <h3><code>[[Image]]</code></h3>Embed an image in wiki-formatted text. 54 61 55 The first argument is the file …62 The first argument is the file, as in <code>[[Image(filename.png)]]</code> 56 63 <h3><code>[[InterTrac]]</code></h3>Provide a list of known <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/InterTrac">InterTrac</a> prefixes. 57 64 <h3><code>[[InterWiki]]</code></h3>Provide a description list for the known <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/InterWiki">InterWiki</a> prefixes. 58 65 <h3><code>[[KnownMimeTypes]]</code></h3>List all known mime-types which can be used as <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/WikiProcessors">WikiProcessors</a>. 59 Can be …</div>66 </div> 60 67 }}} 61 68 etc. 62 69 }}} 63 70 64 == Available Macros ==71 == Available Macros 65 72 66 73 ''Note that the following list will only contain the macro documentation if you've not enabled `-OO` optimizations, or not set the `PythonOptimize` option for [wiki:TracModPython mod_python].'' … … 68 75 [[MacroList]] 69 76 70 == Macros from around the world ==77 == Macros from around the world 71 78 72 The [http://trac-hacks.org/ Trac Hacks] site provides a wide collection of macros and other Trac [TracPlugins plugins] contributed by the Trac community.

Also, have a look at [trac:source:tags/trac-1.0.2/sample-plugins/Timestamp.py Timestamp.py] for an example that shows the difference between old style and new style macros and at the [trac:source:tags/trac-0.11/wiki-macros/README macros/README] which provides more insight about the transition. 79 88 80 Here are 2 simple examples showing how to create a Macro with Trac 0.11. 89 === Macro without arguments 81 90 82 Also, have a look at [trac:source:tags/trac-0.11/sample-plugins/Timestamp.py Timestamp.py] for an example that shows the difference between old style and new style macros and at the [trac:source:tags/trac-0.11/wiki-macros/README macros/README] which provides a little more insight about the transition.91 To test the following code, save it in a `timestamp_sample.py` file located in the TracEnvironment's `plugins/` directory. 83 92 84 === Macro without arguments === 85 To test the following code, you should saved it in a `timestamp_sample.py` file located in the TracEnvironment's `plugins/` directory. 86 {{{ 87 #!python 93 {{{#!python 88 94 from datetime import datetime 89 95 # Note: since Trac 0.11, datetime objects are used internally … … 102 108 def expand_macro(self, formatter, name, text): 103 109 t = datetime.now(utc) 104 return tag. b(format_datetime(t, '%c'))110 return tag.strong(format_datetime(t, '%c')) 105 111 }}} 106 112 107 === Macro with arguments === 108 To test the following code, you should saved it in a `helloworld_sample.py` file located in the TracEnvironment's `plugins/` directory. 109 {{{ 110 #!python 113 === Macro with arguments 114 115 To test the following code, save it in a `helloworld_sample.py` file located in the TracEnvironment's `plugins/` directory. 116 117 {{{#!python 111 118 from genshi.core import Markup 112 119 … … 144 151 }}} 145 152 146 Note that `expand_macro` optionally takes a 4^th^ parameter ''`args`''. When the macro is called as a [WikiProcessors WikiProcessor], it 's also possible to pass `key=value` [WikiProcessors#UsingProcessors processor parameters]. If given, those are stored in a dictionary and passed in this extra `args` parameter. On the contrary, when called as a macro, `args` is`None`. (''since 0.12'').153 Note that `expand_macro` optionally takes a 4^th^ parameter ''`args`''.

Depending on the expected result, you should escape it by yourself (using `return Markup.escape(result)`) or, if this is indeed HTML, wrap it in a Markup object (`return Markup(result)`) with `Markup` coming from Genshi, (`from genshi.core import Markup`).175 Note that the return value of `expand_macro` is '''not''' HTML escaped.
