creating macro

[deligeli]

Hi,
I am trying to define a new macro.
I defined in weblog.vm, sitting in the library: \WEB-INF\velocity of the webapplication.
#macro (showStringShort $string $size)
   $string.substring(0,$size)
#end

I call it from the template,like this:
#showStringShort("hello" 3)

But it displays:
#showStringShort("hello" 3)
As if the macro doesn't exist.
What did I miss?

what template are you calling the macro from?  does weblog.vm both define
and call the macro?  if so, then your velocity configuration is such that
"inline" macros are disabled.

if you are calling the macro from separate template, then you need to
register weblog.vm as a velocimacro.library.

How do I register it as velocimacro.library?

This is described in the "Velocimacro" section of this page:
