Sorry Herbert. Perhaps that was a poor choice of words. I just don't
like macros in general. Nothing personal against yours. I like
markdown because its easier to read and edit than html with little to
no markup (the very reason M.G. called is mark*down*). IMO, macros
take away from that and don't add any value that *I* want. In fact I
don't even use the wikilinks extension, which I wrote and maintain.
