## XWiki Syntax 2.1: Macros

### 2.0 Macros

There is only one kind of macro in XWiki Syntax 2.1, which is called by the syntax: {{macroname param1="value1" ... paramN="valueN"}}...{{/macroname}}. For macros without content there's a short notation: {{macroname param1="value1" ... paramN="valueN"/}}

Feature | XWiki Syntax 2.1 | Result
--- | --- | ---
Rendering Macro with a content |
    {{code language="java"}}
    System.out.println("Hello World!");
    {{/code}
| System.out.println("Hello World!");
Rendering Macro without content | {{include reference="Space.Page"/}} | The referenced page is included in the current page

Radeox macros cannot be used in XWiki Syntax 2.1. Thus they have been rewritten as Rendering macros.
For the full list of available macros check the Extensions wiki.
