Two more things to take into account: a) This needs to work for macros too. Indeed we need to save the macro definition so that when we get back to the wiki editor we get the macro back (otherwise we would only get the result of the execution of the macro). b) The WYSIWYG editor code must be able to read the macro definition (be it in span or in comments) since the editor should do the following: - display some outline around portions of text that are the result of the macro execution - allow users to double click inside the outline to edit the macro definition
