 ## Template macros
 
-Two macros are available to be used in a template: ucamlookup_users, and ucamlookup_groups. These macros have 
-javascript functions that will modify a html input tag to an interactive ajax box with interaction to the lookup 
-service that will let the user use autocomplete and search for lookup users and groups.
+Two macros are available to be used in a template: `ucamlookup_users`, and `ucamlookup_groups`.
+These macros have javascript functions that will tranform an html `select` tag into an interactive
+selection control which will interact with the lookup service and will let the user use autocomplete
+and search for lookup users and groups.
 
-If you want to include an input box to let the user search and introduce a single user or a list of users, use the 
-ucamlookup_users macro. You should pass as parameters to the macro the html input tag *id* that you want to modify/use
-and if you want to let the user select one or more users with the parameter *multiple*:
+To include a selection control that can search and add a single or list of users, use the
+`ucamlookup_users` macro. You should pass the html `select` `id` as a parameter to the macro.
+If you want the control to add more than one user you should set the `multiple` parameter.
 
-```python
-    {% include 'ucamlookup_users.html' with input_tag_id="lookup_users" multiple=true user_list="authors" %}
+```html
+    <select id="authors_id" name="authors" multiple="multiple"></select>
+
+    {% include 'ucamlookup_users.html' with input_tag_id="authors_id" multiple=true placeholder='Select an author' %}
 ```
 
-You can optionally override the placeholder text.
+As seen in the example you can set the placeholder text with `placeholder` parameter.
 
-If you want to show existing records in the input tag you will need to pass to the view the list of crsids. This list 
-needs to be passed inside a dictionary called *lookup_lists*. The key entry name of the dictionary where the list is
-located it is passed to the macro using the variable *user_list* as shown previously. In this example:
+If you want to show existing `User` records in the input tag you should use the `option` tag in
+the template as in the following example:
 
-```python
-    lookup_lists = {
-        'authors': post.users.all(),
-    }
+```html
+    <select id="authors_id" name="authors" multiple="multiple">
+        {% for user in authors %}
+            <option selected=selected value="{{ user.username }}">
+                {{user.last_name}} ({{ user.username }})
+            </option>
+        {% endfor %}
+    </select>
+
+    {% include 'ucamlookup_users.html' with input_tag_id="authors_id" multiple=true %}
 ```
 
-You will also have to include the following macro in the head of your template to load the js and css files 
-associated. These macros require jquery if you want to include your own jquery library or you are already using it in
-your template use the parameter *jquery* to specify it.

-using their username or their complete name. A list of crsids will be sent as the value of the input tag.
+Your `select` tag will be transform into a selection control that allows the user to search for

-The same will work for lookup groups, just substitute user by group in the id and in the include.
+If you need to customise the style of the control, you can use the `ucamlookup-user-container`
+class for the container part and the `ucamlookup-user-dropdown` class for the dropdown parrt of
+the control.
 
+The same approach will also work for lookup groups, as in the following example:

+    <select id="groups_id" name="groupids" multiple="multiple">

+            <option selected=selected value="{{ group.lookup_id }}">
