Hello,
What about something like that:
Use one of the two forms (both could be allowed):
<wicket:label key="my.msg.key">A text to render</wicket:label>
or
<wicket:label>my.msg.key</wicket:label>
Of course, this introduces a new element in the wicket namespace ...
Or something like that:
<span wicket:type="message" key="my.msg.key">Any text you want</span>
or
<span wicket:id="message_or_whatever" key="my.msg.key">Any text you want</span>
and create a hook in wicket (if it does not already exist) for
resolution classes to handle tags with wicket:type attributes,
or create a hook (if it does not alread exist) for resolution classes
to let them a possibility to handle a markup with no corresponding
component.
Thus creating a resolver which searches for the key attribute ...
More open, but may be like opening the "pandora" box ... ?
Or, as you suggested, using hooks for specific markup modifiers before
or after the wicket component rendering phase ?
