Using Macros

Macros are shortcuts available from menus to insert some pre formatted TeX code. They are available both from the source menu and from pop up buttons at the top of editor windows.

To insert a macro, just select the macro item in the macro menu

In general, the macros are sensitive to the currently selected tex. For example, if you have the selected text

 text before  Selected Text  text after

you can apply a "center" macro to obtain something like this where you have control on the range selected after the insertion has occured

text before

\begin{center}Selected Text\end{center}
text after

Some items allow you to perform specific actions such as opening the macro file to edit it. Other special items to come.

You can customize the macro menus to fit your needs or customize the projects, either personal or generic, to choose your own set of macros.
