Chain Multiple Macros/Processors

This macro allows you to chain multiple macros (including WikiProcessors) together (think unix command line pipes). I.e. it allows you to feed the output from one macro as input to the next.

Download

Download the zipped source from [download:macrochainmacro here].

This macro must be installed as a plugin. To do so, change the directory to macrochainmacro/0.11 (if running trac 0.11 or 0.12) or macrochainmacro/0.9 (if running trac 0.9 or 0.10), run python setup.py bdist_egg and copy the resulting dist/macrochain-0.X-pyY.Z.egg to your plugins directory.

Source

You can check out MacroChainMacro from here using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.

Example

The following mimicks the MimeInclude macro:

[[MacroChain(Include(http://www.example.com/), text/html)]]

This uses the CsvMacro to display a csv file from the repository as a table:

[[MacroChain(Include(trunk/foo/bar.csv), CsvMacro)]]

The following uses the XsltMacro and GraphvizPlugin to create a graph of some xml data:

[[MacroChain(Xslt(graph.xslt, doc.xml), graphviz.dot)]]
