User Macros
The links in the table are to different macros that users have contributed (most are taken from the collection at http://www.dur.ac.uk/john.evans/topas_academic/macros.inc). Please feel free to add your own macros. Follow the format of one of the pages already created (or look at formatting_macros). Please add enough documentation that others can follow it! Try and keep the table roughly alphabetical. More detailed instructions are available on how to add a macro.
The page all_macros contains many macros in a single file.
You can just copy/paste a macro into an INP file OR (not and!) place it in “local.inc” which is in the main topas directory. Note that you topas will throw an exception if a macro is defined twice. You can learn the syntax by looking at the predefined macros which are in topas.inc. There's also a great forum post on this by Matthew Rowles.
