Interface MacroCategoryManager

@ComponentRole
public interface MacroCategoryManager

Component interface for managing macro category information. Each rendering macro defines a default category under which it falls, but this category may be overwritten by xwiki configuration mechanism. This component will handle such overwriting operations and make sure latest macro category information is presented to client code.
