UserInfo

Background and rationale

Occasionally it is useful to customise a page to the current user by include user specific information.

To include instructions on how a user can email attachments to MoinMoin under dropbox_mailimport.py it was considered better to give the actual to and from addresses using the user's information rather than a generic examples.

Description

A macro to insert the current user alias, email or name.

The macro has a single argument to select which information is inserted; keywords 'aliasname', 'email' and 'name'. Name is the default.

If an unknown keyword is given, then 'error' is inserted.

If a users is not logged in 'unknown' is inserted.

Usage
