Makes sense to have sharp corners for the code macro.

Sure, the question that remains is whether the box macro should have sharp
corners or if instead it should have round corners as the other info, error,
warning, success macros.
Generally speaking I think that we should only 1 generic macro called {{box}}
which would have:
* an optional title
* an optional image/icon
* content
* style (default is round corners)
Then we should refactor the info, warning, success and error macros to be
specializations of this box macro. Same for the code macro which should also be
a specialization of this box macro.

WDYT?

I'm migrating documents to XWiki/2.1 syntax and wonder, what would be
the precise analogue for #message("message") macro, which produces
following HTML:
message
I found only similar ones:
> quote
which produces
quote
(IMHO works only for single paragraph even with {{{groups}}})
and
{{info}}info{{/info}}
which produces
info
Can I extend XWiki somehow that I can use
{{message}}message{{/message}} with appropriate HTML output?
Thanks!

Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki/2.1 analogue for #message("message") macro
Vincent,
actually I'm happy with both styles for boxes, because I regularly have
several types of them in one page:
1. code excerpts ({{code}} with sharp corners, difference from {{box}}
and >quote is monospace font),
2. informational messages (e.g. {{warning}}, {{info}} — rounded ones
with regular font. I added {{message}} custom macro without icon for
more generic cases).
I think different box styles make pages richer not only in appearance
but also helps to grok meaning of content. Therefore I don't see need to
make all boxes looking "nice and rounded".
Also, It would be good idea to add description of all different "Boxes"
in Syntax guide (at least for these I know):
{{code}}
{{box}}
{{{block group}}}
>quote
{{info}}
{{error}}
{{success}}

Hi Valdis,
I've opened http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9432
I reckon that the reason you didn't use the {{box/}} macro was just because it
looks a little bit less nice that the other style (round corners, margin for
the text), right?
Thanks

Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki/2.1 analogue for #message("message") macro
I decided, that the most elegant solution was to add custom XWiki macro
called "message" whith body:
{{velocity}}(% class="box plainmessage"%
)((($xcontext.macro.content))){{/velocity}}

You should use the Box macro:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Box+Macro
Or one of the macros:
* http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Info+Macro
* http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Error+Macro
* http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Warning+Macro
* http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Success+Macro
