How to Add a Macro
Some notes from Ian Madsen:
- Go to the “User Macros” page
- Click the “edit this page” tab at the top of the page
- Create a new line in the table of macros - try to order the macros alphabetically - follow the formatting of the other lines
- Click the “internal link” button (8th from left)
- Enter the name of the new macro between the double square brackets “New_Macro_Name”
- Enter a description of the new macro under the “Description” column
- When finished editing, press the “Save” button at the bottom of the screen - this will return you to the “User Macros” screen
- Click on the new macro name - this will navigate to a screen with “This topic does not exist yet”
- To create the topic click the “create this page” tab at the top of the page
- Type a title at the top of the page, highlight it and click on “H+”
- Type a short description of the macro on the next line
- Paste in the text of your macro, then highlight it and click on the “Ta” button. This will format it as topas code.
- When finished editing, press the “Save” button at the bottom of the screen - this will return you to the viewing screen for this macro
- Go back to “User Macros”
- Test the link
- Sit back with the warm cosy glow that comes from knowing that, once again, you and your feeble brain have conquered the machine.
