I know, but I stopped using ExtPascal. I don't believe in it's approach
any more, one still has to know JavaScript in order to write decent client 
apps.

Till now, there has been no need to do that. The .js files don't need
tags/macros. All configuration values are fetched from the FPC server
using Ext.Direct (I created some FPC components to handle Ext.Direct
requests, they will be donated to FPC).

If I would need macros/tags, I would simply use fpTemplate, it was 
designed for that.
