Proposal for new Macros and Filter

Macros

• now(offset) - current Date + offset
• renderSkin(skin) - renders the given skin, should be in HopObject & Global
• random(from, to) - returns a random between 0 and 1 or param.from to param.to
• queryParam(name) - returns the req.queryParam
• postParam(name) - returns the req.postParam

Filters

• append(str) - append the str to the incomming string.
• prepend(str) - like append.
• boolean(true, false) - return the true or false parameter, depending on input
• if(x, is, a, then, y, else, z) - http://code.google.com/p/antville/source/browse/trunk/code/Global/Global.js#237
• switch(case1, case2, ...) - return the value of the case defined by the input
• isNaN - returns true or false, maybe followed by a boolean-filter
• isNull - returns true or false, maybe followed by a boolean-filter
• isLowerThan(val) - returns true or false, maybe followed by a boolean-filter
• isBiggerThan(val) - returns true or false, maybe followed by a boolean-filter
• isEqual(val) - returns true or false, maybe followed by a boolean-filter
• toggle(option1, option2) - toggles between option1 or option2
• formatDuration - formats the incomming input from seconds to HH:mm:ss
• formatFilesize(to) - formats the incomming filesize in byte KB, MB, GB, TB
• formatNumber - calls Helma's Number.format()
• formatParagraphs - call Helma's formatParagraphs()
• macroTag - render the input in macro-tags, e.g. "mymacro" | macroTag should return " [Unhandled macro: mymacro] "
• bindHandler - bind the input object to res.handlers[param.name]
• dateOffset(days,months,years) - increases the incomming Date by the given params
• link - call html.linkAsString()
• href - call the href on the input object
• toFixed(c) - calls Number.toFixed(c)
