Bug or feature: variables/macros about geneweb

[michelmno]

I have same problem if macros used in notes of an individual.
A potential direction to continue investigation: those macros do work if present in a macros.txt accessed as m=SRC as per wiki page https://web.archive.org/web/20230926000036/https://geneweb.tuxfamily.org/wiki/macros#List_of_macros (I tested that successfully with last geneweb/master branch cid b779ee5)

I am not at my desk, but I think I remember that all macros are available with m=SRC, but only partially within notes. I will check.

I also think I put in the wiki doc a file that will demonstrate all macros if called with m= SRC. See the macros page on tuxfamily.

Reading the code, I see that the string_with_macros function handles only s and v macros. I would have to dig deeper to see where the %i trick comes from!!
It might be worth trying to use SrcfileDisolay.macro instead (might require some recoding)!!

I have never fully understood how and when most of those macros works and in which context to use it.
