Display option values for trac.ini

Description

Allows a Trac wiki author to insert the value of a trac.ini configuration option into a page.

The IniGetMacro package consists of two macros. The first, IniGet, returns as plain text the value of a trac.ini configuration option. The trac.ini file is a simple flat-file database of sections and option/value pairs:

[section]
name = value

By calling the macro like so: [[IniGet(section.name)]], it returns the value. If no option matches, it returns an error message. Some option names themselves contain periods, this is supported.

The second macro in the package is Welcome, and it returns a level 1 heading element in the following format:

<h1 id="welcome">Welcome to the project.name Project</h1>

Where project.name is dynamically inserted in the same manner as IniGet. The example above is the default behavior. However, Welcome also supports from zero to two arguments that allow the user to specify the prefix and/or suffix strings. Both standard and dictionary keyword methods are supported. If using the standard method, order is important, if using the keyword method it is not. You cannot mix both methods.

These macros are useful for WikiStart project templates.
