<h2>2. How to use macros</h2>
To define a macro:
<ul>
<li>Just use the MediaZOb you want to use ("mm.rect" below).</li><br>
<li>Replace some of the parameters with the word "param" :-)</li><br>
<li>To the cell next from "param" on "d.1" write the name of your
parameter. ("mywidth" below)</li><br>
<li>Optional: To the cell next on "d.1" write a default value.</li><br>
</ul>
<script language="javascript">
<!-- //
document.write(figure(
nop(2)+cell('mm.rect')+hconn('d.1')+cell(' ')+nop(6)+'</tr><tr>'
+nop(2)+vconn('')+nop(1)+vconn('d.2')+nop(6)+'</tr><tr>'
+nop(2)+vconn('d.clone')+nop(1)+cell('width')+hconn('d.1')+cell('param')+hconn('d.1')+cell('mywidth')+hconn('d.1')+cell('50')+'</tr><tr>'

+nop(4)+cell('mywidth')+hconn('d.1')+cell('100')+nop(4),
'2.1. The structure of a macro.'
));
// -->
</script>
To use a macro:
<ul>
<li>Clone the name of the MediaZOb...</li><br>
<li>Give the clone some of the parameters you have used in your
macro definition.</li><br>
</ul>
