Macros are lists of commands. Any series of operations that has to be performed frequently is a good candidate for being a macro.
Macros can be written manually: they are just ASCII files, each command
occupying a line (lines starting with '#' are considered comments;
lines starting with other nonalphabetical characters are presently
ignored). But the real power of macros is that they be recorded during
the normal usage of ne
. When the recording terminates, the
operations that have been recorded can be saved for later use. Note that
each document has a current macro (the last macro that has been opened
or recorded).
