    5 Trac macros are plugins to extend the Trac engine with custom 'functions' written in Python. A macro inserts dynamic HTML data in any context supporting WikiFormatting. Its syntax is `[[macro-name(optional-arguments)]]`.
     5'''Trac macros''' extend Trac with custom functionality. Macros are a special type of plugin and are written in Python. A macro generates HTML in any context supporting WikiFormatting.
    66
    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.
     7The macro syntax is `[[macro-name(optional-arguments)]]`.

    9 == Using Macros ==
     9'''WikiProcessors''' are another kind of macro, commonly used for source code highlighting using a processor like `!#python` or `!#apache`:
    1010
    11 Macro calls are enclosed in two ''square brackets''. Like Python functions, macros can also have arguments, a comma separated list within parentheses.

    13 === Getting Detailed Help ===
    14 The list of available macros and the full help can be obtained using the !MacroList macro, as seen [#AvailableMacros below].
     17== Using Macros
    1518
    16 A brief list can be obtained via `[[MacroList(*)]]` or `[[?]]`.
    17 
    18 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?]]`.

     19Macro calls are enclosed in double-square brackets `[[..]]`. Like Python functions macros can have arguments, which take the form of a comma separated list within parentheses `[[..(,)]]`. A common macro used is a list of the 3 most recent changes to a wiki page, or here, for example, all wiki pages starting with 'Trac':

    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. If you're looking for new macros, or have written one that you'd like to share with the world, please don't hesitate to visit that site.

    74 == Developing Custom Macros ==
    75 Macros, like Trac itself, are written in the [http://python.org/ Python programming language] and are developed as part of TracPlugins.
     47== Developing Custom Macros

    77 For more information about developing macros, see the [trac:TracDev development resources] on the main project site.
     49Macros, like Trac itself, are written in the [http://python.org/ Python programming language] and are a type of [TracPlugins plugin].

     51Here are 2 simple examples showing how to create a Macro. For more information about developing macros, see the [trac:TracDev development resources] and [trac:browser:branches/1.2-stable/sample-plugins sample-plugins].

    80 Here are 2 simple examples showing how to create a Macro with Trac 0.11.
     53=== Macro without arguments
    8154
    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.
     55To test the following code, copy it to `timestamp_sample.py` in the TracEnvironment's `plugins/` directory.

    84 === Macro without arguments ===

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'').
