macro

\macro

Creates a velocimacro from the current buffer

Synopsis

\macro

Description

The \macro command takes the current buffer that you are typing into and runs it through the Velocity engine, with the primary purpose of allowing you to define re-usable macros (velocimacros)

By way of example:

1> #macro (prod $tab)
2> use $tab
3> #end
4> \macro
Ok.
1> #u('master')
2> \go

We have defined a macro called #u() that takes the name of a database and expands to be "use" command on that database (granted, this is a pretty worthless example, but you get the idea).
