Turn XWiki pages into structured, reusable content using Pro Macros

Why it matters

In most XWiki instances, content starts simple and then grows.

At the beginning, copying a page or reusing a section just feels practical. It saves time, it gets things moving.

Then things start to shift. Nothing is broken, but it’s no longer fully reliable either.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

It’s not really a writing issue. It’s about how content is structured, displayed, and maintained over time.

Pro Macros help you take control of this. It enables you to:

  • Highlight important information with panels and status elements
  • Display dynamic data like reports or contributors
  • Reuse content across pages without duplication

In this session, you’ll see how to use Pro Macros in a live XWiki demo to make your documentation clearer, easier to navigate, and easier to maintain. You’ll also learn how they help improve consistency across your content.

If you’re dealing with growing content and want a cleaner way to manage it, it’s time well spent.**
