i did not know where to put this, whether it's an antville or helma related issue, so i put it here in the helma project weblog at antville.
:)

would it be possible to nest macros inside macros the way

<% this.macroName attribute="<% this.anotherMacro %>" %>

?

if this should cause troubles, how about an alternative that let's us define at least one level of nested macros, e.g.

<% this.macroName attribute_macro="this.anotherMacro" %>

with rendering the attribute name "attribute_macro" to "attribute" only and its value to the result of the function anotherMacro_macro()?

[that means: param.attribute = anotherMacro_macro();]

it should be possible to implement any of both ideas as javascript code (eg. in antville) but i assume they perform better when built-in in helma...

i think i will try out the javascript thing. but how do you consider this conecpt, generally?
