 Applies to:: moin-1.5.5a
 Purpose:: Allow multiline macros in rst
 Description:: A simple modification, such that not only the first line is used with the {{{.. macro::}}} directive in rst. I needed this, because I wanted to copy an rst-file with long "latex/itex" calls into moinmoin

= Discussion =
A comment/question regarding this patch ... I had hoped that this was to allow markup like this
{{{
[[MyMacroName(arg_on_first_line,
arg_on_second_line)]]
}}}
which is something I need to support.  

It appears that this is something different.  Is this patch just for multi-line macro ''names''?  
 . No, it´s for macros in the RST parser. -- TobiasPolzin <<DateTime(2006-12-20T21:12:12Z)>>

Any suggestions for supporting this sort of multi-line macro would be appreciated.
 . That is the difference between macros and parsers. macros uses all parameters in one line only. parsers and macros will be unified on the way to 2.0. -- ReimarBauer <<DateTime(2006-12-21T07:14:14Z)>>

I have no idea about rst and don't use it myself, so comments from other rst users about this patch are welcome. -- ThomasWaldmann <<DateTime(2006-12-23T16:55:51Z)>>
