Macro appending after passage

Sheesh I finally figured it out. I needed to use the .wiki() function to append it to the current output buffer. For anyone that stumbles upon this later, this is what my macro looks like:

Macro.add("phone", {
	handler: function () {
		// generate the HTML for the phone
		var phone = createPhone(this.args[0], this.args[1], this.args[2]);
		$(this.output).wiki(phone.innerHTML);
	},
});

Takeaways: (for anyone that stumbles here in the future)

  • .wiki() appends it to the current inline buffer during runtime
  • Must use .innerHTML on phone since it apparently returns an object. Otherwise it’ll just show up inline as [object HTMLDivElement]
