Terser chat window text for dice rolls

I would like an option where the text shown for a dice roll is a bit terser. For example, the command /r d20+5 against AC shows: rolling d20+5 against AC (diceimg) + 5 = 8 Seems it could just say: (diceimg) + 5 against AC The number and type of dice being rolled is shown by the images, and the modifiers are shown, so there's really no need to show it twice. Putting the total on its own line does add to legibility, but it takes up a lot of unneeded space in the chat window. A busy table where everyone's rolling initiative can mean stuff scrolls off before everyone's rolled.
You can do that with inline rolls. [[1d20+5]] vs AC
That is a cool feature I didn't know about, and which I will probably use -- thanks for that! I also note that the inline roll gives a hover tooltip that shows what was actually rolled, which eliminates issues of trust ("did he roll what he said he was rolling?") So now I can make macros that look like: /em attacks with a sword! [[1d20+5]] Very helpful - thanks!
Also you can do attributes and math in the macros! [[d@{Agility}+d(@{Skill}-(2*?{DownStep}))]] This allows me to do an input to affect my dice by the amount of actions the player has taken.
