 A macro has the disadvantage that it is evaluated every time the page is
 rendered, and it will not remember when it has been inserted.
 
 What you want here is something that is evaluated when the page is saved,
 remembering the author / current date when saving.

Exactly.

 To me this looks more like a use case for an Event Listener, e.g.:
 
   
 http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingEventListenerTutorial
 
 You will have to replace
 
  docSource.setContent(docSource.content + \n\nSome extra content...)
 
 in the tutorial by something like:
 
  docSource.setContent(docSource.content.replaceAll('',xcontext.user  + ' 
 ' + docSource.date) )

Thanks. I'm sure this is how it could be done. However, in the
meantime, I think that using the annotation plugin/application
might be the more XWiki-like way to go -- although less familiar
to me it might actually be more familiar to most of the users of
our wiki.

Thanks for your help!

You will have to replace

 docSource.setContent(docSource.content + \n\nSome extra content...)

in the tutorial by something like:

 docSource.setContent(docSource.content.replaceAll('',xcontext.user  + ' ' 
+ docSource.date) )

(A nicer formatting is left as an excercise ...)

Btw, using  as signature marker causes the problems because the tilde is 
already used as the escape-character.
E.g. people using the wysiwyg-editor might get surprising results - e.g. typing 
in '~~'  will already result in '' in the wiki text
as the WYSIWYG editor will escape the tilde. Depending on how surprise 
resistant your users are, you might want to use some other magic placeholder.

Hi, Meillo,

Interesting need. Indeed it's easy to do with a macro such as {{sign 
user=username/}}. 

Now we also support the notion of transformations. They allow to modify what 
gets displayed. However the modified content is not persisted. This there are 2 
choices: 
1) use a syntax such as ~~~ username and have a transformation generate the 
correct content for it 
2) use a syntax such as  without the username and this means having to save 
the modified content and thus add support for persistent transformations which 
could be something useful in general 

See http://rendering.xwiki.org for more details on transformations. 

Thanks
-Vincent

PS: I’ve prepared this email offline and just saw that Clemens has also 
responded in the meantime so my answer doesn’t take into account what Clemens 
has said.
