When creating a topic from a template, can I make it so that %MACROs% are expanded on save?

• Yes
• Some special macros are always expanded. See template topic macro expansion.
• Refer to TemplateTopics and STARTSECTION with the type="expandvariables" parameter

Example

%STARTSECTION{type="expandvariables"}%
 [[%WIKIUSERNAME%][%QUERY{'%WIKIUSERNAME%'/FirstName}% %QUERY{'%WIKIUSERNAME%'/LastName}%]]
 created this topic at %SERVERTIME% in %WEB% web when there were %SEARCH{"1" type="query" nonoise="on" format="" footer="$ntopics"}% topics in it
%ENDSECTION{type="expandvariables"}%

There are currently %SEARCH{"1" type="query" nonoise="on" format="" footer="$ntopics"}% topics in %WEB%

Note that the SEARCH and WEB macros inside the expandvariables section are expanded on save; whereas the same macros outside of that section, are saved verbatim.
