Item10215: Improve documentation on rendering template macros

Could do with an example. The confusing bit is the word "macro" in the documentation, while in template land these are (more specific) "template macros".

Rendering a template macro

Let's say you have this template macro in a "userview" template:

%TMPL:DEF{"user"}%Hello %WIKIUSERNAME%. <a href='%SCRIPTURLPATH{view}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?logout=1' class='logout'>Log out</a>%TMPL:END%

You can get the rendered result with this url:

%SCRIPTURLPATH{"rest"}/RenderPlugin/template?name=userview;skin=%SKIN;expand=user;render=1

Another thing: when using AutoViewTemplate, a view template might be named ProjectViewTemplate. But using template?name=ProjectView won't work, even not template?name=ProjectView;web=Projects. You must pass the web name with the template name: template?name=Projects.ProjectView.
