I envision amanuenses eventually working in two modes: interactive and batch. In interactive mode you select your parameters from multiple choice Lists. In batch mode the parameters are specified in the source code. A generic macro processor invokes the macro and inserts the output in the source. The generic macro processor can also reprocess macros to regenerate them if the rules of generation change. I have described the mechanism in the context of HTML Macros, but the same principle applies to Java macros.
An amanuensis generally generates either Java or HTML, though it could generate any sort of structured text.
