op.macro.file
Sets the file.reference that contains OP macro items.
Syntax
.macro file file.reference .mf file.reference
Description
defines the file name that contains OP macro items.
Macros may contain multiple OP commands and text.
A macro is an item in the given file.reference with an item-id of the format '.macroid'. The item-id of the macro must begin with a period ('.').
The 'macro file' name cannot consist of any periods ('.').
Items from the macro file are included in OP documents by entering the item-id of the macro in the document.
Any string preceded by a period ('.') that is not a standard OP command is treated as a macro.
A macro can reside in the file being edited, or in another file.
If a macro file name has not been declared, OP looks for the macro in the current file.
After the macro has been processed, control returns to the original document item.
Example
The item to process resides in the 'templates' file, with an item-id
of '.fax'.
