"""

Usage example:

0) Save this file as <yourapp>/templatetags/macros.py

1) In your template load the library:
    {% load macros %}

2) Define a new macro called 'my_macro' that takes two args and a kwarg.
   All will be optional.

    {% macro test2args1kwarg arg1 arg2 baz="Default baz" %}
    {% firstof arg1 "default arg1" %}
    {% if arg2 %}{{ arg2 }}{% else %}default arg2{% endif %}
    {{ baz }}
    {% endmacro %}

3) Use the macro with a string parameters or context variables::

    {% usemacro test2args1kwarg "foo" "bar" baz="KW" %}
    <br>
    {% usemacro test2args1kwarg num_pages "bar" %}
    <br>
    {% usemacro test2args1kwarg %}
    <br>
    {% usemacro test2args1kwarg "new" "foobar"|join:"," baz="diff kwarg" %}

    renders like

    foo bar KW
    77 bar Default baz
    default arg1 default arg2 Default baz
    new f,o,o,b,a,r diff kwarg

4) Alternatively save your macros in a separate
   file, e.g. "mymacros.html" and load it to the
   current template with:
        {% loadmacros "mymacros.html" %}
   Then use these loaded macros in {% usemacro %}
   as described above.

Bear in mind that defined and loaded macros are local
to each template file and are not inherited
through {% extends ... %} tags.
