28.9.1 Understanding where to use macros and macro variables
You can use a macro to insert HTML or RTF code in any of the following places:
• before, after, or in place of:
– a paragraph or character format
– a graphic or a group of graphics
– a table or a group of tables
• at any point in the text, using an HTML Macro or Code marker
• at fixed points in an HTML file, such as <head>, or at start and end of <body>
• at fixed points in an RTF file, such as in the header or footer, or at top or bottom.
You can give a macro variable an initial value in [MacroVariables] (see §28.3.2 Assigning values to macro variables); however, you can use macro variables only in the following two contexts:
• within system commands (see §34.4 Executing operating-system commands).
Configuration settings whose values are not themselves macros cannot include macro variables.
