A context controlled macro uses properties from its context to control the content being rendered. This includes document and space properties.

Relation
projectdoc

Context controlled macros check properties form their context to fetch macro parameter values. The identifier of the macro is used to identify properties from the document, the document parent hierarchy and the space to use their values as parameter values.

The format of the property name to select its values as a parameter value is id:parameter-name.

This feature is useful for use cases where the macros is configured by the context. This makes these macros easily be configured by properties and share configuration.
