I think it is fair to say that WebMacro is not the way to go.=20

WeMacro is a template engine which enables you to place=20
java objects into a context and then interpolate a template against that=20
context.=20

WebMacro has been superceded, in popularity at least, by Velocity,=20

ne=20
WebMacro would probably not be the right choice.=20
