Hello,

I am trying to write a Freemarker directive in Java that will process a macro in a template, rather than the entire template. Is there a way to do this? I can see how to get the macro using Template.getMacros(), but I do not see a method of Macro that would allow me to process that.

The Freemarker/Velocity comparison at http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/fmVsVel.html states:
You can capture the output of an arbitrary part of the template into a context variable.
You can interpret arbitrary context variable as if it were a template definition.

This sounds like what I am trying to do, but I don't see how to do it.

Thanks.
