+
+If you intend to use the `MEMBER` macro, beware of the following pre-processor limitations.
+
+<h6 class="no_toc">Templated types</h6>
+
+Due to limitations of the pre-processor, you cannot directly pass types depending on multiple template parameters to the macro. For example, the following will give a compilation error.
+
+```cpp
+MEMBER(std::map<std::string, double>, jointValues, "Map of joint names and values")
+```
+
+This occurs because the pre-processor splits the arguments as follows:
+
+- `std::map<std::string`
+- `double>`
+- `jointValues`
+- `"Map of joint names and values"`
+
+To avoid this you can explicitly alias the type
+
+```cpp
+using MapType = std::map<std::string, double>
+MEMBER(MapType, jointValues, "Map of joint names and values")
+```
+
+If this is not an option, you may use `BOOST_IDENTIY_TYPE` instead.
+
+
+
+<h6 class="no_toc">Note for MSVC users</h6>
 
 If you intend the above code to be used with the Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler (MSVC), the `MEMBER` definition should be changed to:
 
 ```cpp
 #define MEMBER(...) MC_RTC_PP_ID(MC_RTC_SCHEMA_REQUIRED_DEFAULT_MEMBER(SimpleSchema, __VA_ARGS__))
 ```
 
-Or avoid the `MEMBER` helper all-together.
-
 This works around a pre-processor issue in MSVC.
