Macro

A macro is an isolated text template fragment defined for repetitive tasks. It may be defined in:

• a text template: the macro is local and cannot be seen outside of this text template.
• a library: the macro is meant to be reusable and is visible everywhere the library is imported.

The name of the macro must be unique within its container (text template or library). It may define expected parameters, used to compute the generated contents.

A macro can be seen as a user-defined TGL directive. It is called from TGL code using a directive-like syntax.

Note: a macro is an advanced concept that most of users won't have to consider.
