[albatross-users] Macro and links?

[Cameron Blackwood]

Macros and other <al-tags>
--------------------------

OK, maybe my doc reading skills suck, but can someone tell me how to
make this work?

---------------- 8< begin
import albatross

ctx = albatross.SimpleContext('.')

albatross.Template(ctx, '<magic>', '''
<al-macro name="test">
value:<al-usearg name="arg1">
remove button: <al-input type="text" name="remove" expr="arg1">
</al-macro>
''').to_html(ctx)

ctx.flush_content()

albatross.Template(ctx, '<magic>', '''
Output:
<al-expand name="test"><al-setarg name="arg1">value</al-setarg></al-expand>
:output
''').to_html(ctx)

ctx.flush_content()

---------------- 8< end

I have a list of things and I want a macro to print the value with a
'remove' button at the end.

I cant see how to access the macro argument from an al-input (or how
I'd do this with an unnamed arguement, but thats another story).

Isnt adding other al-tags something that should be 'easy' in a macro,
or am I doing something totally dumb here.

If Im on the wrong track here then can someone hint at what I should
be doing to display the items like I want (pagination would be nice,
but Id rather actually get the thing working first ;)
