> Your documentation at

> has the following snippet -
> "
> Velocimacro Trivia
> -------------------------
> Currently, Velocimacros must be defined before they are first used in a
> template. This means that your #macro() declarations should come before using
> the Velocimacros.
> This is important to remember if you try to #parse() a template containing
> inline #macro() directives. Because the #parse() happens at runtime, and the
> parser decides if a VM-looking element in the template is a VM at parsetime,
> #parse()-ing a set of VM declarations won't work as expected. To get around
> this, simply use the velocimacro.library facility to have Velocity load your
> VMs at startup.
> Is this likely to change in any forthcoming versions?
> The use case is theme development for Confluence. It would be nice to be
> able to share some common macro definitions between a number of templates
> within a theme (i.e. not inlining). And using the velocimacro.library
> property isn't really an option because themes are dynamically loaded or
> unloaded.
