Description

Happens when using the wysiwyg to insert a ToC macro.
If i do not leave a line above the macro, user gets this message :
"not an inline macro" which is not helpful.
That warning message will be displayed once the page is saved.

I'll make sure the ToC macro is inserted in the right place when using the WYSIWYG. Wiki syntax users will have to take care of this themselves though so we should make the message more clear anyway.

What do you mean? There's no button for adding a table of contents.

Some of the buttons from the wiki editor toolbar do leave a blank line where needed and safe. For example headings, the HTML and the Velocity macros do leave an empty line around them.

I've fixed the problem by splitting the insertion point when a stand-alone macro is inserted in-line. Note that this behavior is similar to what happens when a table is inserted in-line.
