28.1.3 Nesting macros

Within one macro you can invoke another macro, and that macro can invoke another, and so on; you can nest macro invocations to any level. When a macro calls another macro, Mif2Go notes the “nesting level” and compares it with the limit you set:

[Macros]

; MacroNestMax = maximum depth of macro calls in one statement

; used to prevent runaways when macros call each other in circles

MacroNestMax=128

So if you define a macro as:

[Again]

<P>Play it again, Sam.</P><$Again>

you would get at most 128 lines, then Mif2Go would continue. You cannot crash it by making it loop.
