[jira] Commented: (VELOCITY-583) BlockMacro support

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-583?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12623126#action_12623126 ] 

Jarkko Viinamäki commented on VELOCITY-583:
-------------------------------------------

I think the #define directive descibed in VELOCITY-174 can be used to accomplish the same thing (use #define to create some custom AST set and pass it as an argument to a regular macro). IMHO #define seems more general and cleaner solution. Or does this accomplish something that can't be done with #define?
