A method and system for an extensible macro language is provided. The system for providing the extensible macro language includes a parser and a macro handler for processing macro commands not previously defined in the macro language. The parser analyzes keywords in a macro language expression and recognizes one or more keywords representing macro commands that were not previously defined in the macro language. The macro handler receives the keywords in the macro expression and retrieves from a registry of keywords, an executable code or procedure associated with the keyword. The executable code is run to process the macro command represented by the keyword. The template language registry may be augmented to include any keywords and associated codes for extending the macro language.

A method of wrapping legacy data structures enables the data structures to be used with an object-oriented program and enables a single object to access related attributes in multiple legacy data structures. In one embodiment, an interface class is defined for each pseudo property to be represented. A C&plus;&plus; wrapper is built around each legacy data structure that implements the interface that was defined in the abstract pseudo property class.
