<div>Hi,
</div><div><br></div>
Theres been a private discussion regarding the macro correct layout, if %{foo} or %foo.
<div><br></div><div>
This rised when in the wiki page
<a

</a>
i changed the spec layout from %foo into %{foo} to be as a reference point, in wich mikala has reverted back to %foo, and this discussion has taken other porportions so i would like your opinions regarding this.
</div>
<div><br></div><div>
I have pointed that for a wiki page should be proper to use %{...} to avoid doubts specially in beginners minds, since in some situations we need really to use the {} delimitations.
</div><div>
In wich its recommendation its focused in this cute PDF from redhat website:
<br
clear
=
"all"
>
<br></div><div><span
class
=
"Apple-style-span"
style
=
"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "

target

</a></span></div>
<div><br></div><div>
Im not refering that now we should use only %{...}, that usage can be handled from the user prespective (for example in my specs locally i generally dont use delimitations), some like others dont.
</div>
<div><br></div><div>
As we also see in rpm macros document
<a
href

that we can use both, but in all rpm docs and config files the common usage its with delimitations.
