    <h1>Concept</h1>
    
--- <p>The same "ft:" tags as provided by the <a href="daisy:475">template
--- transformer</a> are also available as macros for the
--- <a href="daisy:511">JXTemplate</a> generator.</p>
+++ <p>An implementation of the <a href="daisy:755">CForms template elements</a>
+++ using macros for the <a href="daisy:511">JXTemplate</a> generator.</p>
    
--- <p>Before the availability of these macros, the JXTemplate generator was already
--- often used in the form publishing pipeline. It makes it possible to dynamically
--- include additional data on the form page and to conditionally include parts of
--- the page (and thus conditionally show widgets). Moving the interpretation of the
--- <tt>ft:</tt> tags directly into generator makes this even more powerful. Think
--- of the possibility of not showing a repeater table if the repeater contains no
--- rows, and this also for nested repeaters.</p>

    <h1>Usage</h1>
    
--- <p>Simply remove the FormsTemplateTransformer from your publishing pipeline, and
--- instead include the following jx statement into your template file:</p>
+++ <p>Simply include the following jx statement into your template file:</p>
    
    <pre>&lt;jx:import uri="resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/generation/jx-macros.xml"/&gt;</pre>
    
--- <p>Note that these macros only work when calling the pipeline from flowscript.

+++ <p class="note">If you were using the forms template transformer before, you
+++ should remove it from the template.</p>
